1. Make sure there is a worker 1 and worker 2 setup.

2. Index first video and make changes with avisynth editor (crop, denoise, auto deinterlace) click save.

# Set DAR in encoder to 43 : 23. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 43
global MeGUI_dary = 23

backward_vec1 = MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 1, overlap=4)
forward_vec1 = MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 1, overlap=4)
forward_vec2 = MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 2, overlap=4)
MDegrain2(super, backward_vec1,forward_vec1,backward_vec2,forward_vec2,thSAD=400)

3. Click AutoEncode, click Queue.

4. Index second video and make changes with avisynth editor (crop, denoise, auto deinterlace) click save.

# Set DAR in encoder to 4 : 3. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 4
global MeGUI_dary = 3

super = MSuper(pel=2, sharp=2)
backward_vec2 = MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 2, overlap=4)
backward_vec1 = MAnalyse(super, isb = true, delta = 1, overlap=4)
forward_vec1 = MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 1, overlap=4)
forward_vec2 = MAnalyse(super, isb = false, delta = 2, overlap=4)
MDegrain2(super, backward_vec1,forward_vec1,backward_vec2,forward_vec2,thSAD=400)

5. On the Queue tab, click start.

6. If you look at the screenshot below, it seems to mess up the audio encoding as well. both were encoded with the same nero aac settings (keep channels and vbr 0.40) but yet job 2 is 18.6MB and completely slient, job 6 is 194MB and the audio is fine. another thing i noticed was when job 2 had finished encoding it would not start the next job until job 6 had also finished.

7. Then both workers started processing job 3 at the same time.

Thanks for the detailed report. I have been able to reproduce the problem with more than one worker working on a job and fix will be in the next build.
The audio file has been ok for me.

Question regarding DGIndexNV. This is my first go-around with using MeGUI for Blu-Ray, so be patient. :)

I'm using DGINdexNV to create the project files. When I then go into the AVISynth Script Creator and hit Analyze, I get an error dialog that says, "Failed to create video decoder (100)" and, at this point, MeGUI becomes unresponsive. If I skip the analysis step, everything seems OK.

Is this just not supported, or have I got a problem on my system?

I'm doing a VC-1 source (Star Trek: TOS). I manually used eac3to to figure out which stream files comprise which episode, then manually use DGIndexNV to add all of the appropriate stream files and create the project.

Hi Zathor,

I've found a way to reproduce the Audio bug that i mentioned earlier.

Here are the steps :)

1. Download THIS (http://www.mediafire.com/?kidjazjdan4) 2 channel AC3 that i borrowed from MASH :)

2. Create 2 copies of the downloaded AC3, call one TEST1.ac3 and the other TEST2.ac3.

3. Make sure there is a worker 1 and worker 2 setup.

4. Change the Nero AAC scratchpad to this, press update and close.

http://i44.tinypic.com/2qnb3i1.png

5. Load TEST1.ac3 in to the audio track 1 in MeGUI and click enqueue.

6. Load TEST2.ac3 in to the audio track 1 in MeGUI and click enqueue.

7. Click on Queue tab and click start.

run these jobs multiple times and inspect the output sizes of the mp4s created,
Run 1:
TEST1.mp4 = 1.63MB, TEST2.mp4 = 1.12MB.
Run 2:
TEST1.mp4 = 1.64MB, TEST2.mp4 = 100KB.
Run 3:
TEST1.mp4 = 100KB, TEST2.mp4 = 1.19MB.
Run 4:
TEST1.mp4 = 1.63MB, TEST2.mp4 = 1.13MB.

And the LOG (http://www.mediafire.com/?mmjylmqktnt)

EDIT: OK found the problem, it's normalize() in the AVISynth script. If you disable normalize peaks to ... in the nero AAC encoding config dialog the output files are the exact same size.

without normalize enabled.
TEST1.mp4 = 1.51MB, TEST2.mp4 = 1.51MB.

Zathor

10th May 2010, 14:33

But even when normalize is disabled there are sometimes glitches. I have changed it a few days ago so that only one audio job can be run at a given time:

Hi,
I just auto-updated a couple days ago and now anytime I try and add a denoise filter I get errors. It took me some time to see what was happening, but for some reason the AVS Script is getting corrupted somehow.

My source is mpeg2 and is indexed with DGCreator first before opening AVS Acript Creator. After that I can use any other options fine but if I add the noise filter at any level and select "Preview AVS Script", I get multiple errors.

The default AVS Script before selecting any options looks like this:

#denoiseLoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\megui\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\VIDEO CACHE\[Test Clips]\Source\I_Opening.d2v", cpu=4, info=3)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\megui\tools\avisynth_plugin\ColorMatrix.dll")
ColorMatrix(hints=true, threads=0)
#deinterlace
#crop
#resize
#denoise

I can already see that something looks awry with #denoise at the very top. When I actually load a denoise filter it changes to this:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\megui\tools\avisynth_plugin\FluxSmooth.dll")
FluxSmoothST(7,7) # Medium NoiseLoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\megui\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\VIDEO CACHE\[Test Clips]\Source\I_Opening.d2v", cpu=4, info=3)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\megui\tools\avisynth_plugin\ColorMatrix.dll")
ColorMatrix(hints=true, threads=0)
#deinterlace
#crop
#resize
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\megui\tools\avisynth_plugin\FluxSmooth.dll")
FluxSmoothST(7,7) # Medium Noise

If I reformat the script by hand it seems to work ok, but I figure it's something wrong on my end as I can't find anything anywhere on anyone else having the same problem. Am I doing something wrong, or have a corrupt file somewhere? I'd really like to get this working properly again and hope I'm not missing something obvious.

The first error that appears doesn't show in the log but states:
"AviSynth script error:
Script Error: Invalid arguments to function "FluxSmoothST""

After clicking OK, the following error appears and shows up in the log:
"MeGUI encountered a fatal error and may not be able to proceed. Reason. Parameter is not valid."

Here is the relevant portion of the log:

Help me

I have an error when process MKV to AVI XviD, the strange thing is that the error only occurs in at 86.69% 2pass
The error is due to Xvid_encraw.exe, the problem persists, reinstall it and update the Megui, xvid_encraw.exe was downloaded, and yet the problem continues ...
Please I need your help, and not to do ... and I often use the Megui.

Here a screenshot of the error

Zathor, would it be possible to have an option for the FFMSIndex to also create the audio index? Right now I would have to index it through MeGUI (without loading files), then manually add FFAudioSource() above FFVideoSource(), then open the .avs. Doing otherwise causes two indexing passes which can take some time on large videos.

Hi,
Still having the same trouble with the AVS Script creator in MeGui.

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1398733#post1398733

Does anyone have any thoughts or know where else I can find some help with this problem?

Thanks,

I do not have this kind of problem and cannot reproduce it. Can you please install MeGUI to a different location, let it update and try it again? This way you will get a clean installation.

Since the last update of mediainfo in megui, file indexing take so much time (more than 20 minutes to start the process)

Since the last update of mediainfo in megui, file indexing take so much time (more than 20 minutes to start the process)

Please post more details e.g. which files do you index. In order to verify that mediainfo is the problem you can close megui, extract these old mediainfo files in the megui dir (http://megui.org/auto/mediainfo_0_7_32.zip) and index the file again.

I have published 0.7.33 yesterday and shortly after that HertZ posted about the mediainfo problem with (I assume) 0.7.33. Therefore I have posted a link to the oder release in order to verify the problem.:)

16th May 2010, 11:32

Aah sorry, I did not update yesterday :p
HertZ should have told us what kind of a file he was indexing.
I just did a small test on different files with old and new version.
Only DV avi seems to be a little slower with the new version.
Tested avi, mov, flv, mkv, mp4, divx, xvid, mpeg2 via dgindex,wmv....
Different containers and raw streams, with and without sound.
All were short samples about 5 minutes duration
Only DV avi is lagging a bit, could be because of heavy coding in the background on a DV avi file.

operates again with all mediainfo 0. 7.32, the problem was with a h264 m2ts bluray.

Can you please post the mediainfo of the file and which indexer you used or which action had been using 20 minutes.

HertZ

16th May 2010, 16:00

zathor I have tested with three different titles bluray, I doubt that is specific under bluray.
Final indexer used was DGIndexNV or DGIndex/DGAVIndex (same result for both), so while selecting the .264 file (extracted from the m2ts), MeGUI DGIProject Creator window open, and it took 20 minutes to get the dgi Project output file name

So it is not mediainfo, it's on the DG indexer stage:devil:.
You are confusing me...
If you load the index file to the AVS Script Creator, there is no delay?

I have an issue as well with the new mediainfo - if I try and open an elementary mpeg2 stream (m2v) in the file indexer, it just hangs (ie it never opens it, or it may take considerably longer than before - I didn't wait to see). I've reverted back to the previous mediainfo and it's working ok again.

Zathor

16th May 2010, 17:49

Can someone with the problem please upload a short sample and describe in detail how to reproduce the problem? And maybe post your OS.
I tried many different files and for me it is working (Win7 x64, 32bit MeGUI).

Zathor

16th May 2010, 18:50

Finally I could see the problem myself with an .264 file. I have stopped the update of mediainfo - hopefully 0.7.34 fixes the problem.

Was working yesterday then I couldn't find plug-ins for avisynth so the hunt was on, I saw that Gordianknot had some avisynth plug-ins so I installed it then grabbed those plug-ins and transfered them to the avisynth folder to call them in my script.

Didn't even get around to it, I load up MeGui, go to index my .vob file add to queue, launch queue, frozen crash.
Un-installed Gordianknot thinking that's the only thing I installed must have ruined MeGui, uninstall MeGui just in-case for a fresh install, restart, install MeGui, no added plugs, test file again, Crash.

Here is the log attached.
6GB DDR3 incase you need that info.

EDIT:
To note I just restored my pc to yesterday and all seems fine, I had also installed the new K-Lite Codec Pack 5.9.0 so something between Gordianknot and K-Lite went wrong I will not reinstall either now knowing it will corrupt my MeGui.

EDIT: Thanks zathor - I didn't realise the SF pages were active. Feature requests have been added for both items.

In a future build of MeGUI, would it be possible to add in a "Preview AVS Script" button at the bottom of the "Current position" video preview window? I know it sounds strange to duplicate this button when it's already on the Avisynth script creator window, but it would benefit me, and possibly others, as I am currently carrying out manual frame-by-frame correction of a lot of frames in a video.

The (interlaced) video in question has fields shifted vertically in some frames, but not all. There is no filter to automatically correct this through frame analysis (that I am aware of); the only option is to use an old VirtualDub filter called FieldShift, which tries to correct all frames in a video by default. Therefore, I have to import the VDub filter into my AVS script and use the ScriptClip and ConditionalReader functions to import a text file containing the frame numbers that need correction.

At the moment, I have to switch between VirtualDub (to scan through the video - the preview function in MeGUI doesn't update smoothly when scanning forwards, so I'd miss broken frames), then EditPad (with the list of frames to fix, and the correction value to apply), then the MeGUI script preview window (to hit the "Preview AVS script" button), and then finally the MeGUI video preview window (to see if my correction was OK).

I have asked about the problem with the video itself (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=153158) previously, however the ScriptClip + ConditionalReader solution was the best available. And apart from the time spent on this, it's also rather annoying having to do wasteful colour space conversion for one VDub filter (as no Avisynth equivalent exists), which then impacts on the final encoding time (OK, I am splitting hairs a bit here, it's only around 2-3 fps).

So I guess what I am asking for is:

1) The ability to smoothly move forwards through the video (allowing me to ditch VDub for the same purpose)

2) A "Preview AVS script" button added to the video preview window (so I don't have to jump to the Avisynth script creator window and press it)

Thanks for the hint. The mediainfowrapper.dll needs to be replaced. I had already distributed this dll with the mediainfo 0.7.33 package but forgot that I had revoked it because of problems with the mediainfo.dll. I distribute now a package with the new wrapper and the old dll. This sould fix the problem - please report back.

I'm sorry, I didn't see this, I guess we wrote it simultaneously :)
Will the new .dll be available via the Auto Updater (http://megui.org/auto)?

Thanks.

Yeah, I noticed that just a little too late :)

But another problem has occured, this time with the Bitrate Calculator.
I'm not able to press the Apply button in there.

I have ran the File Indexer, processed the Queue, and created a d2v-script.
So now, in the MeGui, both the Video and the Audio fields are filled out.
And when I enter the Bitrate calculator and select output size (both audio and video info seems to be filled out here too), but the Apply button remains greyed out. Here's a picture:

It's not just the apply button. When you enter total file size manually, the old version showed you the video bitrate. However, the updated version doesn't.

Thats the root of the problem. Only with a video bitrate the Apply button can be pressed (it doesn't make sense to apply a bitrate of 0)

Hi

I am using dgindexnv 2007.

I am having several problems:

If a create a job to encode, and then close megui, and then open megui later to execute pending jobs, jobs do not start as cuvid server is not running. I have to start it manually
Autoencode fails: after selecting avs script, pressing autoencode nothing happens and later when trying to abort megui crashes
In avs creator, Analyse stream fails, nothing happens and megui crashes

I think these errors might come from the way magui handles cuvid server and dgindexnv, but I am not sure

Can not post log cause megui crashes

Thx

http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/9726/megui.jpg

I fixed already the last two errors so that MeGUI wont crash and the job is moved/deleted. The first error is caused by the renaming of the indexer jobs (e.g. IndexJob --> D2VIndexJob). The job type needs to be translated on the fly.

Please try to disable the usage of the CUVIDServer in the MeGUI settings (you have to create the avs files again or edit them to use dgmultisource()).

I need to have a look at your first problem. The server should be started automatically.

while the bitrate calc is being looked at, any chance that defaults for container, audio type/bitrate, and target size could be saved. even better would be having the option to bypass the current bitrate calculator window completely and just have the chosen default selections automatically plugged into the video length to calculate encoder bitrate.

i'd be happy either way. :)

By the way, I think this option should be disabled by default or even removed :helpful: I agree that DGMultiSource() should be the default now. The new version DGDecNV 2008 coming in a few hours will have the Quick Start guide revised that way. CUVID server was created only because originally DGMultiSource() would not work with the pre-Zathor builds.

What is the point of the "Subtitles" input field in the Avisynth Script creator window, when it doesn't add them ?

In the script source window, there is

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MeGUI\tools\avisynth_plugin\VSFilter.dll")
VobSub("S:\My DVDs\2012\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.idx")

But in the final encoding, there were no hardcoded subs at all ? :confused:

25th May 2010, 20:54

Use textsub.

Are you serious ? TextSub for .idx files ?

Anyway I have to revert to both Megui and StaxRip.

MeGUI which is able to extract the correct language streams while StaxRip can't.
Staxrip for doing the actual conversion because it is able to hardcode the .idx subs correctly while MeGUI can't....

load the sub, not the idx
VobSub("S:\My DVDs\2012\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.sub")

and with blurays, use suptitle
http://www.zachsaw.co.cc/?pg=suptitle_pgs_avisynth_plugin

example
SupTitle("F1_T8_Subtitle - English.sup")

Thanks, I cannot see the VobSub("") sequence in the StaxRip .avs, but it works, perhaps Zathor can fix the Avisynth Script Editor so that choosing subtitles to hardcode from it will select the .sub and not the .idx by default.

quantum5uicid3

26th May 2010, 06:09

loading the idx should work also, but maybe a version mismatch or something is occuring. the idx is a text only index file

Hi:

I've tried to use oneclick for blurays movies. I have a main movie stream .m2ts as input file

When using oneclick megui tries to create a d2v file (idx, from 0000.m2ts to 0000.d2v), not a dgi file as when using file indexer, and then stops in error.

Am I doing anything wrong? Is there an option to use oneclick fot HD streams?:confused:

Thanks!

Note: I have licensed neuron2 dgindexnv

I havent used MeGUI now some time and Upated today.

Now i have one strange thing...

I have a .TS File (h264 50 fps + ac3 file) 2 hrs 30 approx...

I used Neurons DGIndexNV (2009) to Index it.

Now the Big Problem:

When i start AVI Script Creator and load that DGI File .... a looooooooooooooooong Time nothing happens.

Up to 2-3 Minutes.

Then i can do all cropping/resizing things and save the AVS.

Then AGAIN i have to wait upto 3 minutes until MeGui becomes aviable again. After loading Audio and pressing "Auto Encode" ....

Same thinggy again... 2-3 minutes until i can choose my Bitrates.

Guess what? .... Continuing does same...2-3 Minutes until MeGui comes Aviable to start Cue.

Starting the Encode i have to wait 5 minutes until even the Status Window pops up... not speaking of again waiting then 5 minutes until it really starts encode. (pass 1).... I guess on Part 2 same thing.

Im Not sure if this is a fault of DGToolsNV or MeGui...
I remember that i got the same behaviour with an older Version of the DGToolsNV when using DGMultiSource.....

So what to do?

thank you for your great job, keeping megui alive, zathor!
a long time i didn't open the bitrate calculator, but today i have to say, it's very well thought out logically! if i want to encode multiple streams for a blu ray, i have to use a tiny exel sheet to set the same video bitrate for all streams. but this sheet doesn't calculate very accurate (m2ts overhead is complicated to calculate for me). maybe you could extend megui's bitrate calculator for multiple video streams, if it is possible and less complicated.

I got a new HTC EVO on friday. I am trying to put together some HD video files it can play. It has HDMI output for 720p video and a 720p camcorder built in.

Very little is known about the internal capabilities but looking at an output file from the camcorder, it creates files with extension 3GP and mediainfo reports the video codec as mpeg-4 3GPP.

Is it possible to create such files with MeGUI? If not, can someone recommend a tool that can?

--profile and --level should remain a part of basic x264 settings.

and i think evo 4g supports h264 video, level 3.1, ref 3, and profile baseline and aac audio in a mp4 container.

edit
i'd like to add too that i think the new complexity slider is a waste of space, because asking a novice to judge the complexity of a video is inherently flawed. just saving previous settings or a slider for selecting crf values would be much more worthwhile additions imho. basically i just find it to be more confusing then helpful. running a --crf ? --pass 1 --slow-firstpass...outputting to a file and saving the stats is the better way to judge compressability and dealing with the occasional unwelcome result of a crf encode.

edit2 to make it more clear.

if target filesize after first pass is greater than or less than specified values, automatically run the 2nd pass adjusting the bitrate and overwriting the previous file.

Next question, is there a way to extract tracks from an mp4 in meGUI? eac3to does not handle extraction from mp4 so the hd stream extractor does not work on mp4s. mp4box can do it from a command line, just did not see a way inside meGUI to do it. If its not there, any chance it could be added?

With build 0.3.4.15 (using DGIndexNV 2010, Win7 32 bits) I get frequent GUI crashes at the start of the second pass. The progress window opens, but before it starts updating I get a "Programme has crashed" message from Windows. However X264 seems to carry on all by itself and completes the encode.
Any ideas?

megui support windows 2008 server,64 bit OS?

velp

10th June 2010, 11:56

Hi,

Thanks for all the work that goes into MeGUI. Since I've found it I use it for everything.

One little thing I've noticed for the past few versions is the 'and close' tick box on the HD Streams Extractor screen seems to be anchored to some other component, or statically positioned within the form which doesn't allow for the resizing of the window components properly. This is by no means a show stopper. Just noticed that the behaviour on every other screen seems to have it anchored to the bottom of the form allowing for all components to be dynamically resized. This would be really handy on the HD Streams Extractor screen, some of those disks have so many streams, playlists etc be great to see more in one glance.

No rush, when every you get around to it, just making sure someone was aware of it.

Thanks again.

Hi friends
i m new with MeGUI encoding....so plz help me
when i encode anime video with DAR 16:9 the output file shows DAR 3:2.....encoding done correctly and i set DAR to 16:9 while creating avs script but i get same result.

can any one tell me some setting for megui for encoding anime...now i m using following setting

ref=8, bframes=3, b_pyramid=2, b_adapt=2, fast_pskip=1, chroma_qp_offset=-2, decimate=1, deblock=1:1:2, psy=1, psy_rd=0.40:0.00

is this setting correct or something wrong??

- moved CustomFileSize, CustomFPSs, CustomDARs and GUI settings from user.config into settings.xml
- user.config is no longer created / updated.
Therefore MeGUI itself does not write anymore outside of the application directory
- [mencoderEncoder] switched mencoder to ffmpeg as pre-rendering engine in order to support x64

I never used the pre-rendering function and have not tested the change. I believe that if I broke something someone will post it.

Thanks for the report.

That's because of a change in mkvtoolnix:

* mkvmerge: enhancement: mkvmerge will no longer put all clusters
into a meta seek element resulting in smaller file size. The
parameter "--no-clusters-in-meta-seek" has been renamed to
"--clusters-in-meta-seek" and its meaning reverted.

I will release a new build today which removes the --no-clusters-in-meta-seek from the command line.

15th June 2010, 15:25

Hi Zathor. I believe this is related to your change of using ffmpeg instead of memcoder for pre-rendering.

After the change, I notice that the pre-rendering stops early during the process. To be more specific, there isn't any crash. The only indication of a problem is that the file size meter stops increasing. My AVS script is as follows:

SetMTMode(2,4)
DGdecode_mpeg2source("C:\Raws\Test.d2v")
tempgaussmc_beta1u(1,1,0,0,0,0,edimode="--",SVthin=0.0,pelsearch=1)

Distributor()

MT("LimitedSharpenFaster()",4)

A pretty standard TGMC deinterlacing script, I would.

I'm thinking that perhaps it would be better to keep using mencoder for 32-bit and try ffmpeg for 64-bit? In addition to the above mentioned problem, there is another additional undesirable with ffmpeg, that there's no information feedback on expected file size, frames encoded or remaining time left. I believe these information can be quite important.

I would love to provide more information, however seeing as there's no error message whatsoever, I'm stumped as to what information to provide. Also this happens with at least 3 different videos I have tried, so I don't think it's video specific.

quantum5uicid3

16th June 2010, 04:04

do you think you could try a more recent build and see if the problem still exists? the lack of status info is a prob though. you could also try running job from commandline.

just overwrite ffmpeg.exe in the megui\tools\ffmpeg\

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/files/
FFmpeg-svn-23591.7z is current most recent

edit
the link was confusing

i'm also not sure if -vstrict should be -1 or -2. i thought since ffvhuff is now stable, -1 should be used but ffmpeg documentation is not that clear about anything. anyone?

edit2:
at this point, couldn't it just use.

Hi,

I have a little probem with megui. If I encode a video for my GSM Samsung S5230 it don't work but if I encode the same video with the same settings with Ripbot it work.

Ripbot settings :

--level 3.0 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-bufsize 10000 --vbv-maxrate 10000 --no-cabac --filter 0,0 --ref 3 --bframes 0 --b-adapt 0
--no-weightb --weightp 0 --b-pyramid none --subme 6 --aq-mode 1 --trellis 0 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,p4x4 --no-8x8dct --me umh

I would recommend to create a new profile in MeGUI and put these settings for example in the custom command line.

With latest build when I use Const. Quality for x264, when I click "AutoEncode" in Size and Bitrate the choice is on File Size, with build 0.3.4.14 or with stable the choice is on "No Target size". This is a bug?

Hi,

I am using MeGUI for quite some time now and would like to post a small request concerning the AVS Script editor.

In fact, it's perfect, but two things could be enhanced when it comes the the AVS Script Editor:

Use a Fixedsys font like notepad (courrier new, ...) as does any code editor. It makes it easy to create a presentable code
Add the possibility to change the size of the window as it is VERY small for an AVS Script code editor (or leave it fixed size but make it a litte larger)

Would be very nice if these where implemented :thanks:

Concerning MeGU x64 I have a question: I found the core files but no libs, etc. is this normal? the programm won't start and complain about misconfiguration... :(

18th June 2010, 21:22

@jeremy33

you're settings are somewhat redundent and more confusing then they need to be. a portion of bluray compatible settings? also aside from x264 setting, you need to be looking at audio and container settings.

here's a good starting point for any mobile device for x264

program --level 3.0 --profile baseline --preset %whatever% --ref 5

then just manually tweak --ref , --vbv-bufsize , --vbv-maxrate , --level , and --profile to use the highest setting/resolution that will work on your device and post your results. :)

MeGUI64 is in the same path as MeGUI32. But also if I put the x64 files in a separate Directory, the error is the same.

MeGUI x64 must be installed in a different directory than MeGUI x86. But this is not the source of the error. It seems that you need to install a Visual C++ x64 Redistributable Package (there are several ones and newer ones do not include the older packages)

Bugs in x264 configuration dialog (Advanced mode) in Build 0.3.5 :

1) Changing Tunings causes changes to --ref and --bframes. It places --ref 3 and sometimes (for presets: Ultra Fast, Very Slow, Placebo) --bframes 3 on the commandline.

2) For Film, Animation and Grain Tunings, changing Psy-Trellis Strength has no effect on the commandline until Psy-RD Strength is changed to something other than 1.00.

It seems the code for Tunings needs some serious bug spray. Sometimes there are some weird (but not so easy to replicate) changes to the commandline, like choosing Animation sometimes places --bframes 16 on the commandline. :confused:

Hey Zathor, nice work on 0.3.5.0...

Something that's been off on all MeGUI versions I am hoping you could fix is when I AutoEncode with a video that is encoded animorphically, MeGUI doesn't pass this information on to mp4box.

My AVS file contains these lines:

# Set DAR in encoder to 47 : 26. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 47
global MeGUI_dary = 26

But the log files show this:

Job commandline: "C:\Program Files\megui\tools\mp4box\mp4box.exe" -add "File.264:fps=29.97" -add "File.m4a#trackID=1" -ipod -tmp "c:\movies\" -new "File.mp4"

It's not passing a "-par 1=40:33" (or ": par=40:33", I'm not sure which is preferable) switch to the mp4box command line?

As a side note, I also tried muxing the file using the Tools->Muxer->MP4 Muxer option from the menu. It doesn't let you set the PAR from there either. But for the audio track it does let you set the language, which does pass a ":lang=English" parameter to mp4box. I thought this was very nice and was wondering if the language (and par of course) could be added to the video input as well?

Thanks for your time Zathor. I hope this was the correct forum to post this in.

Zathor, the "AutoEncode" option for MKV files doesn't seem to be working correctly in 0.3.5. I've noticed the following problems:

1. It ignores the name for the file that you put into the AutoEncode window.
2. It only creates the video encode jobs, not the mux job. Even if I output MKV and then Autoencode to MKV, I want it to remux the MKV file so as to create the index.
3. If I select RAWAVC as the format, and then select MKV as the Autoencode format, it does not create a RAWAVC job, but only creates an MKV job.

The M2TS autoencode seems to be working correctly.

It works fine when I do it manually directly in DGIndex, though.

Log in MeGui shows no errors.

Anyone else has this problem?

Actually found the error :) I stripped the megui script back to.

LoadPlugin("C:\Megui\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\Rip\Source\MainMovie\DVD_VIDEO_1_1\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.d2v")
#deinterlace
crop( 8, 2, -8, -2)

#resize

Its the "cpu=4, info=3" at the end of the DGDecode call that causes my error.

DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\Rip\Source\Customize\DVD_VIDEO_S1_D3\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.d2v", cpu=4, info=3)

How can this be fixed other than me manually changing it everytime?

Guest

23rd June 2010, 00:22

That does not cause any error for me.

Try adding this to the end of the script:

ConvertToRGB()

Then open it in VirtualDub. Just to see if your YV12 codec is screwed.

Did you get the error with the sample file you uploaded?

flebber

23rd June 2010, 01:29

i had two scripts created by megui which caused the error.

I started off with a script like this.
# Set DAR in encoder to 16 : 9. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 16
global MeGUI_dary = 9
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\FFT3dGPU.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Megui\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\Rip\Source\MainMovie\DVD_VIDEO_1_3\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.d2v", cpu=4, info=3)
LoadPlugin("C:\Megui\tools\avisynth_plugin\ColorMatrix.dll")
ColorMatrix(hints=true, threads=0)
#deinterlace
crop( 8, 2, -8, -2)

LanczosResize(704,576) # Lanczos (Sharp)
#denoise
FFT3dGPU(sigma=1.5, plane=4, bt=0,sharpen=1, bw=32, bh=32)

I was then left with this which still produced error so removed the info cpu which left this and tested again and it then worked in Virtualdub.
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\FFT3dGPU.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Megui\tools\dgindex\DGDecode.dll")
DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\Rip\Source\MainMovie\DVD_VIDEO_1_3\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.d2v", cpu=4, info=3)

I'll ask once more and if you don't answer, I will go away.

Did you produce the error with the sample clip that you uploaded? That exact clip. I ask because your script does not match the sample you gave me.

If so, can you please remove cpu and info one by one to see which is causing the problem?

Under Help/Detected SIMD, what is checked?

If he is using the update server:
http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1383648&postcount=32

The files I use are .ts files recorded with DVBViewer.

Guess I have to go back to v3.4.17 (if I can find it)

Edit: According to MeGui log, this is the command line for DGIndex while demuxing: [NoImage] Job commandline: "D:\Brukerprogrammer\Media\megui\tools\dgindex\dgindex.exe" -SD=< -AIF=<D:\Lager\nytt\PVR\06-22_18-25-00_Disney Channel (nor)_Phineas og Ferb.ts< -OF=<D:\Lager\nytt\PVR\06-22_18-25-00_Disney Channel (nor)_Phineas og Ferb< -FO=0 -exit -hide -OM=2

At a first glance the command looks good (-OM=2 is used so all audio tracks should be demuxed). I cannot check it at the moment myself with a ts file. But if it has been working with 0.3.4.17 it should work with 0.3.5 because since then nothing has changed regarding the dgindexer.

I think I realized I have never indexed a file in MeGui before without cutting it in some other program (ProjectX, TSDoctor, SmartCutter) first :(
I have tried to run the DGIndex command line from command prompt, and same problem there.
If I however go into DGIndex -> Stream -> Detect PIDs: PAT/PMT and set the PIDs manually, it works fine.

The strange thing is that the audio PID is detected fine in the MeGui File Indexer, so why isn't that info "transferred" to the DGIndex command line that the File Indexer creates?
Maybe it's not possible for all I know :)

Anyway, the conclusion must be that the problem is in the files DVBViewer creates, and the cutting programs I have used has fixed the problems somehow before I have used the files in MeGui.

A builtin frame-accurate cutting / stream fixing program in MeGui is the ultimate goal of course :)

Thanks again.

i've run into the following issue trying to downmix + slow down 3.1 ac3 tracks to 2.0 ac3. i ended up with 3.1 encodes instead of 2.0. tried two similar source files. all relevant info (hopefully) given below. megui updated yesterday to all development updates.

The downmix only work for ac3 5.1

You can create a specific avs file to downmix others channels configurations, for instance:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\avisynth_plugin\NicAudio.dll")
a=NicAc3Source("D:\SomePath\SomeAudio01\SomeAudio01 T82 3_0ch 384Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3")
flr = GetChannel(a, 1, 2)
fcc = GetChannel(a, 3, 3)
lfe = GetChannel(a, 4, 4)
clf = MixAudio(fcc, lfe, 0.2929, 0.2929)
MixAudio(flr, clf, 0.4142, 1.0)

And input the .avs to Megui instead the ac3 file
Include the slowdown (if you need) and normalize after.

The downmix work fine for the first sample (L,R,C,LFE), with the second (L,R,C,S) you need this mix:
flr = GetChannel(a, 1, 2)
fcc = GetChannel(a, 3, 3)
lrc = MixAudio(flr, fcc, 0.4142, 0.2929)
sl = GetChannel(a, 4)
sr = Amplify(sl, -1.0)
blr = MergeChannels(sl, sr)
MixAudio(lrc, blr, 1.0, 0.2929)

thanks so much tebasuna51, i'll try that right away.

also i have a totally stupid question: i don't understand the sample02 chan configuration: L C R, Side: C; what is "Side: C"?

Edit: i just tried this second sample in Ac3 filter it shows left, center, right and.. SL (side left), what kinda weird configuration is that? could it be a broken (in some way) audio track?

tebasuna51

26th June 2010, 03:01

also i have a totally stupid question: i don't understand the sample02 chan configuration: L C R, Side: C; what is "Side: C"?
A wrong translation:
L C R S (acmod 5 in ac3 header) means:
Left Center Right Surround

equivalent (after remapping) to wav channels
FL FR FC BC
FrontLeft FrontRight FrontCenter BackCenter

If you don't have a Back Center speaker a proper player must play the BC in BL-BR

Vincent Vega

26th June 2010, 07:03

so if AC3Filter plays the Surround channel in SL only it's a bug in it? i've always liked valex's decoder so much.. what ds filter would you recommend that can handle such chan config properly?

tebasuna51

so if AC3Filter plays the Surround channel in SL only it's a bug in it? i've always liked valex's decoder so much.. what ds filter would you recommend that can handle such chan config properly?
I always recommend use ffdshow instead AC3Filter.
With ffdshow you can remap (matrix mixer) the BC to BL-BR with 0.7071 coefficients.

Has anyone else had trouble in megui with Warpsharp.dll and toon.dll.

I removed both dll's and my megui encodes perfectly. I replaced warpsharp.dll with the version from warpenterprises and it stopped the error.

But I re added toon.dll to my avisynth plugins and it cannot complete an encode with the toon.dll being used. Does anyone have a light toon/anime dll that plays well with megui. I haven't had to encode much anime previously.

Sharktooth

30th June 2010, 13:22

@flebber: it seems an avisynth problem more than a megui problem... try to find newer version of the toon plugin.

@Taurus: thanks, i had "troubles" of all kinds...

@JoeH: thanks :)

changes to --level and --profile in their new location do not update the commandline below until after you close and save the x264 configuration dialog. and i still think they should be basic x264 settings. :)

edit
and i dont think the threads checkbox or field is working. nvm i think it's just doing the same thing as level and profile.

some fixes to profiles. ***for latest x264***
1. added "--open-gop coded" to bluray and avchd presets.
2. force disabled bframes and soft enabled CABAC for iphone profile.
3. force disabled b-pyramid and soft enabled CABAC for psp profile.
3. and removed redundency of setting vbv to 10000 when level 3 is already set. *correction*

Warning with MkvToolNix 4.1.0

2010-06-12 Moritz Bunkus
* mkvmerge: enhancement: mkvmerge uses header removal compression
by default for AC3, DTS, MP3, Dirac and MPEG-4 part 2 (XviD/DivX) tracks.

2010-06-25 Moritz Bunkus
* mmg: enhancement: The "compression" drop down box is enabled for
all track types. That way "no compression" can be forced for those
tracks mkvmerge uses "header removal" compression for.

Eac3to don't support tracks with "header removal compression" and HD Stream Extractor don't work with these tracks. Tested at least with dts tracks.

Sharktooth

the problem is MeGUI is not the only too that uses MKVMerge...
so i guess we have to update eac3to in the next days. at least i hope...

Thanks Zathor.

Is it possible to add some default options for the HD Steams Extractor? (Similar to Configure AutoEncode defaults...)

e.g.

Option to default to VC1 or H264 for video stream instead of MKV
Option to automatically add -core to options for DTS Master or TrueHD audio streams
Option to automatically select all [language] streams (Audio and Subtitle)

Good evening everyone.

I got a message for an update and all went well except the x264 update which gave me this message....

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r89/mcwups1/Capture.jpg

Now, first of all, I have Win7 x64, so why does it say x86? I really don't understand the difference. When I'm transcoding, it says x264x64.exe (I think) in the processes, and I know I put it in the folder in MeGui.

Anyway, does anyone have an idea what I need to do to fix this? Everytime I start MeGui, the update balloon pops up, and this happens.

Thanks in advance.

I have a small question.. Ive tried to encode an Xvid with MeGui. No matter what Resolution or Setting i give MeGui (4:3, 16:9, 1.8xxx) the final file will always have Custom Pixel Shape. Where can i set it that there is the correct in the Mpeg4 settings ?

In that case it was 640x320, a file from my cam after cropping.

PAR 1:1 =1
DAR 2:1 =2
Custom Pixel SHape 1:1=1

Where can i set these things ? In the AVS script Gen i set the AR to 16:9.... i need Square Pixel

Chris

if you need square pixels dont check the anamorphic option (that means non-square pixels)

I have tried this for both my XP and Win 7 installations, but neither will update x264. I get this:

Error: Could not unzip x264. Deleting file. Please run updater again...

EDIT:
Just cleared the update-cache of the failed zip of x264, rebooted, and tried updating again and this time it was successful! :)
I will try my XP Pro version next to see if I can update it too.

Repeated same steps for XP, and it now updated x264 too! All is well again.

Hi all,

I'm using spline64 for downsizing my resolution (is it better than lanczos?). The thing is the next time I want to use MeGUI again, the setting has been reverted back to lanczos (Sharp) from spline64 (sharp). Is there any way I can make the setting stick?

if you need square pixels dont check the anamorphic option (that means non-square pixels)

I didnt check it!!!

I simply loaded the DGI file.. cropped the file (640x288).

Input DAR was set to 16:9. Thats all i did there... And outcome again has CUSTOM PIXEL SHAPE in "About Mpeg4 Encoding" in Avinaptic.

In the Original Xvid COdec i can Choose Square Pixel... so why is there no Option in Megui for that?

Edit: I encoded the SAME AVS with the SAME SETTINGS now with VDub and outcome was as expected Square Pixels. NO Custom Shape. What can i do to change it in MeGui ?

if you didnt check anamorphic then it's square pixel. what reports avinaptic may vary due to the fact megui uses another interface for xvid... but still if the picture looks good (i mean the right proportions) then it is ok.

SHot of the Picture or the Avinaptic output ?

Ive tested MeGui now ... also 720x576 uncropped 4:3 or 16:9 ... Every Encode results in Square Pixels in Avinatptic so there must be something not ok ....

From the Optics.. Imho both encodes look same (VDubmod+XVid / MeGui) but thats not the point iam aiming to... ;)

CUSTOM PIXEL SHAPE is just a flag set into the bitstream. pixel shape 1:1 IS square pixels.
as i said early, incoerencies in what avinapic reports may be due to the fact megui uses xvid_encraw interface instead of xvid VFW...
what matters is the pixel shape. 1:1 is square pixels. i dont know why avinaptic is reporting 1:1 as custom but still... it's 1:1 and so it is square.
infact megui and vdub produced pictures looks exactly the same.

Yeh thats what i said.. looking same (allmost.. i guess that Enc with MeGui has more Details?).

So its more a Bug or bad "Tagging" in xvid_encraw ?

Standalone Players detect SQUARE and 1:1 differently...

Chris

Sharktooth

5th July 2010, 13:57

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_aspect_ratio

look at the images... and you'll understand.

The aspect ratio of the pixels themselves is known as the Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) – for square pixels this is 1:1

as long as the PAR is 1:1 you get square pixels... no matter what.
so it's neither a bug or a bad tagging.
probably the bug is in avinaptic that reports a custom pixel shape even if the pixel shape is explicitly set to 1:1.

edit: if the bitstream doesnt have pixel shape signaled, it's usually assumed it is square. if the bitstream has 1:1 PAR signaled it IS square, no assumption required.
now, avinaptic seems to tell you that no-signaling is square pixels, while if pixel shape is signaled then avinaptic reports Custom even if it is set to 1:1.

Thanks.
Well, listen...
if the encoder doesnt specify the AR then it's usually assumed the encoding is made in square pixels... that's ok, coz even if the AR was missing you couldnt know.
however, if the AR is specified and it's 1:1 then we exactly know the encoding IS square pixel and we need no assumption and we know the AR isnt missing.
So, if avinaptic assumes 1:1 is a Custom AR, that's a limitation coz it only checks for the AR flag but doesnt check the actual AR values (even if it displays it).
A sane way of doing that would be checking the AR values and comparing them to common values so that 1:1 would be recognized as Square pixels coz it IS square pixels...

5th July 2010, 16:54

i can't help but to bring it up again, because i don't think anyone commented on it. crf is a great feature, but sometimes it produces an unexpected result quality/bitrate above/below expectations. i find it's more practical to adjust the bitrate manually by just running a second pass at that point. i know i can just change the crf and renecode, but it's still kind of a guessing game how much of a +/- change to make.

basically im requesting an additional 1st pass mode in the advanced settings of the x264 configuration dialog. that uses ( --crf x --pass 1 --slow-firstpass ) , outputting both stats and video files.

I don't much like using my shitty batch file for encoding. :)

is there a disadvantage that i'm missing?

Sharktooth

5th July 2010, 17:03

yes. using CRF AND aiming for a bitrate.
you should chose one or the other.
however you dont need batch files since you can add custom commandline options to your CRF preset and specify --pass 1 --slow-firstpass and --stats ... and save it.
create a new preset with the same settings but in "2pass - 2nd-pass" mode with the new bitrate and let it go...

quantum5uicid3

5th July 2010, 17:26

I'm not needing any certain bitrate/filesize in particular, so most of the time i don't need two passes. just sometimes it gives an undesirable result, and it's often enough that I would just rather always wrtie stats with my crf encodes.

yeah i tried custom commandline but i couldn't figure out a way to take advantage of megui's automatic handling of the stats file name/location.

Sharktooth

5th July 2010, 17:44

assuming the source and the destination files are in the same folders there will be also the stats too.
just add --stats and the drive:\path\filename to the custom commandline options for both presets.
that will suffice to replace the megui stats handling.

I'm probably stupid but update does not work for me. It does the update and restarts but it's still the old version (0.3.1.1058) and it asks me to update again. Also, I got LOTS of silly profile import errors and had to hit LOTS of cancel buttons.

Seems like this should be easy. Just think what Joe Six-Pack will experience if I can't figure it out. Usually I'm pretty good at this computer gig.

Delete all the MeGUI-core files in your update cache and try again.

there was a check put in place to see if the updates downloaded correctly, if it wasn't the user would be prompted to download it again after MeGUI was restarted

Lyle_JP

12th July 2010, 07:27

Despite the fact that I have "Use CUVID Server" unchecked, MeGUI still uses it whenever I open a .dgi file with the AVS Script Creator. It wouldn't be such a big deal except that in the latest build of DGindexNV, Graft has fixed the memory leak that allows him to deep-six the CUVID server forever, which he has now done. So this behavior of the AVS script creator could become a problem in the future.

Also, MeGUI x64 probably shouldn't have the --open-gop bluray option until an x64 build of x264 r1666 is available, no?

I cannot verify it at the moment but this would not be the intended behavior and therefore it would be a bug.

The best way to bring a bug to the attention of the developers is to open a bug report at sourceforge. If it is only posted here it may be missed.

13th July 2010, 23:08

it depends where DGIndexNV is located...
however run it as admin and see if it gets updated. once you did it you can close it and launch normally

Shevek

Tried as admin, same issue.

DGIndexNV is installing to C:\Program Files\megui\tools\dgindexnv

It's backing up the current files and installing the new files.

I now have each file doubled with a .backup version (these are identical, as confirmed using BeyondCompare)

It seems to me that the update process itself is running fine until it comes to updating the AutoUpdate.xml file - it still has an empty <CurrentVersion /> for DGIndexNV

the first problem seems to be related to an autoupdate.xml corruption. you already fixed it, however you can delete the file and megui will regenerate it.

More info:

I switched back to stable and it updated to 2013, AutoUpdate.xml updated with correct CurrentVersion (2013) and it doesn't update again on launch.

Switch back to development again, it updated to 2020, AutoUpdate.xml updated with correct CurrentVersion (2020) and it doesn't update again on launch.

Problem solved!

Could this be because it is a fresh install of MeGUI and I cancelled the initial update, switched straight to Development and then did my update?

I have this same problem. I installed a fresh version of MeGUI and updated from the development server. Every time I open MeGUI it asks to update DGDecNV. If I switch to stable upload it downloads 2013 and doesn't ask again. If I switch to developmental it downloads 2020 and asks to update every time I open.

Does this have anything to do with DGDecNV not including CUVIDServer.

Mine was fine once I went back to 2013 then back to 2020.

I think the problem is to do with CUVIDserver.exe being removed from the build in ver 2020. I had manually deleted it from MEGUI's dgindexnv folder, and if I go back to 2013, CUVIDserver.exe gets reinstalled, and the update then works to 2020 - and I no longer get prompted to keep doing to upgrade. If I manually delete CUVIDserver.exe, the update window then shows my current version as blank, and it goes back to continually prompting to upgrade it.

Looks like MEGUI is somehow using CUVIDserver.exe to work out it's current version and if it's not there, you get this issue.

sounds plausible - I had thought the same, but not got around to testing the theory.

EDIT: Confirmed!

Without CUVIDServer.exe in directory, this is the Updater window AFTER updating. Note Existing Version is missing and Update Available:

Hey Shark...Thanks :thanks: for all your hard work!!! I'm probably having a brain fart :stupid: here but I searched for info on the new pulldown tab buy couldn't find anything. Does this have anything to do with 3:2? Any help on what this does would be greatly appreciated.

I only use the faac encoder once in a while so this could have changed at any point in the last few weeks but....

The options checked in the faac config do not get applied when encoding. I am using either an mkv or an .ac3 file for input and asking for an aac output, downmix to stereo and vbr of 100.

What I get is an aac file with 5 channels and approx 320kbps. This used to work fine.

Suggestions? Did I muck something up or has something in the faac front end changed or what?

Thanks for any suggestions. I can do this conversion manually with ffmpeg (command line ffmpeg -i test.ac3 -ac 2 -ab 128000 test.aac) but its much easier to keep everything inside megui.

The problem is that the MeGUI build running during the import cannot import the profile because settings have been added / changed. The workaround would be to update MeGUI to the latest build without updating the profiles, start the new build and update the profiles.

there still seems to be a small issue with the file indexer with AVC in MKV files.

once you open up a MKV with AVC in the file indexer all the DG indexing options are ghosted out but FFMSIndex is not selected.

http://i31.tinypic.com/359l1mo.png

as you can see down at the output file that it's still trying to use DGIndex to index the mkv, so if you blindly click queue it will not index.

Love the new SAR control! May I ask for two more common sar values for the drop down? I'd love to have 8:9 and 32:27 for NTSC DVDs which do not follow the ITU-R BT.601 standards (4:3 and 16:9, respectively).

Also, it's just a cosmetic thing, but weighted P-frame prediction should be greyed out when baseline profile is chosen.

In that case, adding a textbox to set custom SAR values might be a better option, as the list could go on.

I am trying to recode ac3 or dts 5.1 audio track to a stereo aac. Using either FAAC or Nero, selecting downmix to stereo the resulting file is an aac or mp4 file with 5 channels.

Attempting the same task using the winamp aac encoder results in an error and aborts.

I can do the conversion with ffmpeg on a command line:

ffmpeg -i test.ac3 -ac 2 -ab 96000 output.aac

and it seems to work. Except that the time base seems to get out of whak so when remuxed, the sound gets further and further out of sync. The original ac3 track plays fine and I have tried with several different tracks getting the same results.

The real task at hand is converting an mp4 file that contains h264 video and ac3 audio to a new mp4 file for my EVO that contains h264 video with baseline profile AVC level 3.1 and aac stereo audio. Am I just approaching this in the wrong way? The video recode works fine from an avs script, the audio does not, I have to extract the audio using yamb. Is there a line I should be placing in the avs script to allow it to pass the audio correctly and encode in meGUI? I tried setting audio=true but that did not help.

Any ideas?

Input tab, Audio track 1
Audio Input: test.ac3
Cuts: (left blank)
Audio Output: test.mp4 (for Nero)
Encoder Settings, config, output channels, Downmix multichannel to Stereo, SampleRate, Keep Original, AAC Profile, Automatic
Click Enqeue and it processes and builds the mp4 output file containing 5 channels and nearly the same file size as the input. it should come out much smaller with only 2 channels.

If you get only 5 channels maybe your source isn't 5.1 but 5.0.
Only 5.1 sources can be downmixed to stereo with MeGUI.
:logfile:

Try with a .avs file with:
NicAc3Source("your_audio.ac3", 2)

in MeGUI Audio Input instead the .ac3 file.

Has anybody else noticed the tunings drop down in the x264 conf dialog putting additional commands in the command line?

how to reproduce:

1. open x264 config dialog and click load defaults.

2. go through the tunings one by one and look at the resulting command line

Default
program --crf 20 --output "output" "input"
Film
program --tune film --crf 20 --output "output" "input"
Animation
program --tune animation --crf 20 --output "output" "input"
Grain
program --tune grain --crf 20 --deadzone-inter 21 --deadzone-intra 11 --output "output" "input"
PSNR
program --tune psnr --crf 20 --output "output" "input"
SSIM
program --tune ssim --crf 20 --output "output" "input"
Fastdecode
program --tune fastdecode --crf 20 --no-deblock --no-cabac --weightp 2 --aq-mode 2 --output "output" "input"
Touhou
program --tune touhou --crf 20 --aq-mode 2 --aq-strength 1.0 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --trellis 0 --output "output" "input"
3. Once you get to the bottom of the tuning start working back to the top again
Touhou
program --tune touhou --crf 20 --aq-mode 2 --aq-strength 1.0 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --trellis 0 --output "output" "input"
Fastdecode
program --tune fastdecode --crf 20 --no-deblock --no-cabac --weightp 2 --aq-mode 2 --output "output" "input"
SSIM
program --tune ssim --crf 20 --trellis 0 --output "output" "input"
PSNR
program --tune psnr --crf 20 --trellis 0 --output "output" "input"
Grain
program --tune grain --crf 20 --trellis 0 --output "output" "input"
Animation
program --tune animation --crf 20 --trellis 0 --output "output" "input"
Film
program --tune film --crf 20 --trellis 0 --output "output" "input"
Default
program --crf 20 --output "output" "input"

I was under the impression that all the tunings should add is --tune %tuning% to the command line.

well i wanted to ask how can one restrict x264.exe from using full cpu .. ( especizlly during IInd pass )
i want to allow it to use just 30 to 35% of the CPU , how can i do that permanently , atm all i do is reduce the affinity of the process x264.exe in task manager, but its not a permanent solution..

Why isn't low priority sufficient?

30th July 2010, 20:06

@forum king

Why isn't low priority sufficient?
well even then it reaches 97 to 100% and makes doing other stuff slow,

Sharktooth

30th July 2010, 20:22

the CPU usage is not the culprit. i mean, if a process is run in low priority it will use CPU cycles ONLY if there are no process with higher priority that require CPU cycles.
so for example if you run one encoding in normal priority and another in low priority, the first encode will use all the CPU cycles needed. the second will just use only those left (more or less).
however limiting x264 CPU usage is not possible unless you have a multicore CPU. in that case you can limit the number of threads and make x264 run only on one core.

Thanks , and what will happen if there are many users in a PC , like a server ??? what effect will x264.exe 100% usage have on other users ????
i guess there it will a problem ????

and how to limit the number of threads ???
the default setting is 0 which mean 1.5x of the nlogical cpu ???
suppose i enter 2 or 3 , does it mean that out of the 4 cores megui + x264.exe will use only 2 or 3 cores ???

stax76

30th July 2010, 21:00

I guess MeGUI uses idle by default, if Firefox is slow then it's probably the hard drive, ideally you would use 2 drives, a SSD as system drive and a normal hard drive for media.

Sharktooth

31st July 2010, 01:19

@forum king: the logic remains the same. higer priority processes will have a higher priority, hence more CPU cycles if they need them.
limit the threads with the threads option. 1 thread will use one core, 2 threads 2 cores etc. (1.5x is a coefficient to maximize the threading efficiency so, for example, to FULLY use 2 cores, x264 sets 3 threads as default).

Please add eac3to v3.24 (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1426354#post1426354) to solve the problem after MkvToolNix 4.1.0

Thanks.

sorry to bother you zathor, just wanted to inform on newer findings.

the crash that i reported a few posts back seems to only happen on my desktop and not my laptop.

i have all codecs and what not configured the same so i guess i'll just blame diff hardware.

i do know that it happens when i use dgindexnv in my script. could it be because of diff vid cards? one uses a gtx285 and the other a gtx260m

Do you use the same graphics driver on both machines? Can you open the avs file with other tools like VirtualDub?

Are you using the latest build of DGIndexNV (2024) and are you able to index your file using the MeGUI\tools\dgindexnv\DGIndexNV.exe without problems?

just wanted to report that i have fixed that wierd crash i was getting. the cause, at least in my case, was nvidia 258.96 drivers using the script i posted earlier. if i used a script that the megui avs script creator spits out i get no crashes but i wont go this route because i like neuron's tools so much. so the only solution i came up with was to rollback my nvidia drivers to the one that win7 update recommends and voila problem fixed no more crashes.

AMED

22nd August 2010, 03:26

ffms2 updated to rev 325 (dev build).
please test.I've had a test and there seems to be a problem with the reported frame rate.

v3.25 reports 23.9091908091908 FPS
v3.18 reports 23.976 FPS (which is correct)

best to rollback to v3.18

Sharktooth

23rd August 2010, 03:18

3.18 has problems with mkv files with header compression.
so, dont know what's better...
however, i'll update ffms as soon as it gets fixed.

Hello again.

I have 2 questions:
- I just bought DGIndexNV, but now, when using File Indexer, it is not possible to Select Tracks anymore, just No Audio, or All Tracks. Is this a bug, or design? It is a nice feature I would like to see continued.
- In the past, in the Bitrate Calculator, when I made my own file sizes, they would stay there. But now, no custom made file sizes are "staying", so I have to keep entering the numbers every time. Bug or design? This too is a feature I would very much like to have continued.

Thanks again.

A new stable build will be released every once in a while as soon as a development build is declared "stable". There are no timeframes for such a release - there may be months between stable builds or days. If you want to have the newest tools / functions and want to help us in reporting problems / feedback, then switch to the development part.

1st September 2010, 17:50

Hi,

perhaps it might help you in your decisions to know how a developer here in Germany handled a similiar possibly license and patent problem. The program I mention, which you may know, is "ProjectX", is only a Java based MPG2 muxxer / demuxxer; it is neither a MPG encoder nor a decoder. Nevertheless, to circumvent any possible legal problems with the patent holders, the original author of the program decided to release only the source code, but no binaries: http://sourceforge.net/projects/project-x/.

Of course there are other people which are releasing binaries of this program, e.g. http://www.oozoon.de/main_de.html. But the developer cannot be held responsible for binaries released by other parties, so he should, at least in Germany, never run into any trouble by the patent laws. I suspect that the legal situation in most other countrys should be the same.

So a possible solution for the megui team could be, that they also only distribute the source code, with no default server for binary updates in it. If the end user finds a possible update server for binaries and fills in the URL into megui, IMHO the developers cannot be held responsible for this.

C.U. NanoBot

mariush

1st September 2010, 18:19

Would the developers have issues if they download only the source code from the server and launch a compilation on the users' computer (thus create binary on users pc)?

Not sure how long compiling something like x264 takes but with the processors nowadays, I don't think it would take long. well maybe that profiling would take a lot but otherwise...

The messagebox will show this: "There are updated files available that may be necessary to MeGUI to work correctly. Some of them are binary files subject to patents, so they could be in violation of your local laws if you live in US, Japan and some countries in Europe. MeGUI will let you choose what files to update but please check your local laws about patents before proceding. By clicking on the 'Yes' button you declare you have read this warning. Do you wish to proceed reviewing the updates?"
Please put this with a check box that allows the user to select "OK I get it, now f*** off and don't show this again!" option. Once I've seen this, considered the consequences and checked my local laws, I do not need this silly message showing up for every single update. :rolleyes:

Thanks.

rapscallion

4th September 2010, 22:42

Sorry if this is a stupid question, however in the latest tx264 (5.3):

what is the "24" in x264:bd9 1080p24-7820p24 profile?

Also do I need to use these new profiles with the latest builds or can I still use the prevoius ones like "x264:avchd (dvd5/9)-2pass" ?

Some settings in the new presets are a little confusing to me, particularly under GOP size.

Under the old profile (automated 2 pass selected) GOP size max = 250, now is 24. GOP size minimum =25, now 2. Open GOP was none, now Blu-ray for all new x264 dvd/bd profiles. Hovering cursor still says 250 max recommended.

Could someone please help me with this one ?

nurbs

4th September 2010, 23:18

The 24 is usually framerate in that notation. In this case also the keyframe interval since for Blu Ray compatibility the maximum allowed keyframe interval is the same as the framerate (or twice the framerate in some cases). Of course high keyframe intervals are recommended, but Blu Ray doesn't allow them. Open GOP helps a lot with short keyframe intervals so the Blu Ray compatible mode is on of course.
Depending on how old the previous profiles are they might not work, or at least not work as expected, with the latest x264 build or the latest version of megui.

Basically since you are trying to encode a Blu Ray the necessary restrictions needed for Blu Ray compatibility are in place and some options that are helpful with this restrictions are enabled.

If you are not trying to encode a Blu Ray you shouldn't be using the Blu Ray profile since it will limit the quality at a certain filesize compared to less restrictive profile like for instance the DXVA or unrestricted ones.
If you are trying to encode a Blu Ray then keep in mind that there are other restrictions like the allowed resolutions (e.g. 1080p or 720p) that megui won't enforce (AFAIK).

rapscallion

5th September 2010, 00:29

Thanks for the response nurbs.

Actually the profile example I used was for bd-9 which used to be called AVCHD (which it is, of course, as is bd-5)

I encode only in "avchd" or bd-25. Both 720p and 1080p.

The 24 threw me off because, here in the U.S., the frame rate is 23.976 ??

I still wonder why the dramatic change in the max/min gop levels ? Or is that tied in to the open GOP being enabled for "blu-ray" ? :confused:

Sharktooth

AVCHD is a different standard than Blu-Ray.

Of course, that's why I'm asking why the new presets use "blu-ray" enabled for avchd profile open gop ??

Rounded to closest integer.

I might be wrong, but I think the restrictions for AVCHD are by and large the same as for Blu Ray. I'm sure most players wouldn't care about the GOP size and maybe they'd even support the normal Open GOP setting, but authoring applications are often more picky then the players themselves. The AVCHD preset that comes with MeGUI now seems to be set for maximum compatibility. As an example it uses --weightp 0. While Blu Ray players should support --weightp 2 and most do, there are some players producing artifacts with streams where it is enabled, so it is turned off in the preset.

@Sharktooth:
Looking through the presets I noticed that the Blu Ray and AVCHD presets have --min-keyint 2 as a custom command line option. x264 now automatically uses keyint/10 for the minimum keyframe interval, so it's not strictly needed, unless of course you put it there so inexperienced users won't mess the setting up when playing with the advanced options.

Of course, that's why I'm asking why the new presets use "blu-ray" enabled for avchd profile open gop ??
coz AFAIK it wont work otherwise except if you disable opengop.

@nurbs, @sharktooth :

Thank you both for the explanations.
It can be a little confusing for us "non experts" to see big changes in particular settings when builds are updated.
Especially when there is no change log to explain the effects/reasons for the changes.

BTW, welcome back Sharktooth !
Zathor has done a fine job, as you know, in your absence and it's great that he's continuing.

Sharktooth

5th September 2010, 16:26

yep, zathor "saved" megui from oblivion.
however, expect more changes in presets in the next stable build... and expect more changes when the --device option will be added to x264...
we cant avoid that due to the fragmentation of info and the contradictory reports...

hey guys , i am using the development servers now a days for the patched build.
yesterday while encoding , due to reason my system restarted abruptly :
and since then i cant encode a file wa nearly 90% in 2nd pass so i restarted the 2nd pass but i am getting this error in megui

[Error] An error occurred: avis [error]: unsupported input format (DIB )

i always add ConvertToYV12() at the end of avisynth script
and the video preview is working too
but when i try and play the avisynth script in MPC this is what i get :

Directshow source : couldnt open the file ......
No combination of filters could be found to render the stream.
says error in line 1 ( off curse measn error in line 1 of the script )

the line 1 of the script is
DirectShowSource("C:\Users\lifetalk\Desktop\ALL\second.half.of.me_10.9.9.mkv", fps=25, audio=false, convertfps=true)

so does it mean i have to reinstall klite ( which i use or avisynth or what ?

thanks in advance.

To avoid confusion in the future I have changed the title of this topic to "bug reports and feature requests".

The correct place for bug reports and feature request is the Project page, but if you want to discuss them first you can do it here. However remember: without opening a bug report or feature request at the project page it is likely that we forgot about it. After all we are humans, aren't we?

@WorBry: sorry for the delay. i've added you suggested values in Force SAR dropdown. They will be there in the next build.

No problem :) It was just a suggestion for folks who want custom SAR values. The 'standard' preset values meet my needs.

I see you've added 8:9 and 32:27 sar values in 0.3.5.9. Actually it was Lyle_JP who requested this:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1419923#post1419923

I was under the impression that you were intending to add a text box for entering custom SAR values. Like I said, no big deal for me, and it's easy enough to edit the SAR in the command line anyway.

Sharktooth

10th September 2010, 02:51

yes, sorry. i confused the posts.
however adding a box is really useless coz if you want to specify a custom SAR you can enter it in the custom commandline options.

12th September 2010, 01:21

Maybe I'm doing something wrong (I don't think so though) but the Force SAR option isn't working correctly for me. I'm trying to use it to encode some DVDs and setting the box to 10:11 is causing some odd anomalies. --sar 10:11 will show up in the command line on the Config menu, but once the encode starts:

Job commandline: "C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\x264\vfw4x264.exe" --level 4.1 --crf 18 --deblock -3:-3 --bframes 16 --b-adapt 2 --ref 5 --no-mbtree --cqm "jvt" --merange 24 --me tesa --direct auto --subme 10 --partitions all --trellis 2 --no-dct-decimate --no-fast-pskip --psnr --ssim --sar 10:11 --sar 48600:52129 --output "D:\Video\TV\Yu-Gi-Oh!\YUUGIOU_1\01\01.mkv" "D:\Video\TV\Yu-Gi-Oh!\YUUGIOU_1\01\01.avs"

So the video gets encoded with that funky sar value instead of 10:11. In the three proceeding encodes, it read "--sar 10:11 --sar 1:1". Obviously I've gotten around this by just using the custom command line, but it's sort of a weird error.

Hi Zathor,

I had an email:

I have another question. I know MeGUI isnt your app. But I have a problem with MeGUI and DGDecNV 2024 and 2026. When trying to make an avs-script with megui, it gives me error that its unable to load DGMultiDecodeNV.dll . I understand perfectly why it says that, since DGMultiDecodeNV.dll is now called DGDecodeNV.dll. But is there any way to fix this?

I suggested that he can just rename the DLL.

Is this something that needs attention in MeGUI?

Thank you.

Zathor

12th September 2010, 14:11

I assume that he is using the stable build of MeGUI (0.3.5.0) and this build does not support the newer changes within DgIndexNV as it is still using 2013.

As a workaround he should switch to the development update server or wait a little bit for the next stable build.

Any thoughts on updating the denoisers in MeGUI? I think that most people these days have processors fast enough to accomplish in 1/2 the time with MCTemporalDenoise what used to be done with the MeGUI selection of denoisers. Just a simple MCTemporalDenoise (settings="medium") would probably be fine. The script seems to be fairly robust as many people use it all the time and as far as I know it's x64 compatible also. What about also adding some sharpening? MCTD has some of these features but something like LSFMod could quite easily be introduced. Maybe just toss a (SLOW) comment in there after the option.

i started working on the commandline generation to fix the bugs when using the preset and/or tunings options...
it may require a while but it's needed...
i realized we cant tag the next build as stable without those fixes. plus some tools need to be updated since they're causing problems (mediainfo, mp4box) so... i decided to proceed with that huge seek & fix work.

There is something weird with the new queue system.
In the past, jobs are proceed by job number.(job1 then 2 and so on)
While using the latest 0.3.5.12, i got job 2 and job 5 proceeding at the same time.
Both of them are video encoding.

I understand that it's best to make a tracker at sourceforge for bugs for the development team to keep track of it, however I would like to clarify if it's really a bug or some sort of new feature.

Some details :
job 1 - 6 in queue
job 1 & 4 - audio encoding
job 2 & 5 - video encoding
job 3 & 6 - muxing

After I hit the start button, job 1 starts and finish the encode as per normal.
Here's where the problems starts.
Next, job 2 and job 4 starts at the same time.
Job 4 completes first and job 5 starts.
job 2 and job 5 are running together at the same time.

I didn't carry on the job to see what happens next but I would assume that most probably I would see job 5 and job 3 running at the same time or job 3 and 6 running at the same time.

I assume you have more than one worker. Can you please check in Wokers\Worker Summary if there is more than one worker?

A finished audio jobs starts other workers if there is some work to do. This has been the workaround for a workaround (somewhere deep in the 0.3.4.x). If more than one audio job is processed at the same time one output file is (very likely) bad. Therefore a worker skips an audio job if there is another one already encoding. To avoid non processed files (which may lead to a complete stopping of the queue processing if there are dependencies) the finished job will start again all other workers.

Could of course be nicer but it is no bug - it's a feature :) If you want it changed then please post in the feature request tracker and describe in which way you want to have it changed.

Thought about it, the behavior is confusing so I have changed it. The worker will be postponed if another audio job is running and it will be resumed as soon as the other worker finishes the audio job. The status will be shown in the worker summary.

Just checked the worker summary, turns out there was around 4 workers that was created when I was messing with it the last time.
After shutting down all the workers, I got it to work the usual way.

Sorry for the false alarm, I am not familiar in the usage of workers and the way they work.:o

Update : My muxing job is stucked at 99%, there may be something wrong with mp4box...
Update 2 : Confirmed that problems lies with mp4box, mux works perfectly fine with Kurtnoise 2010.04.10 while it gets stuck at 99% with 2010.09.10.

My company recently installed a new web filter / safety program called ZScaler. It's a filter (like Websense) but it works by saving a cookie with the information needed to connect for every program that connects to the Internet. This means that programs that don't allow cookies, or that don't allow the option to connect by means of IE in the background or using IE cookies are not able to get to the Internet. So, at least from my companies computer, MeGUI can't update.

We are looking for workarounds for this problem, but I just wanted to mention it to see if you had any ideas. Regardless, one way I could get around this is if you simply post a full MeGUI with all tools included everytime you do a stable build. I know you have been talking about that as something you wanted to do - so, just letting you know it would be of interest here. Thanks for all your hard work keeping this tool going.

I could use some help and advice. I have some issues with xvid presets, sar for xvid/x264 and avs script editor. Did an update from .10 to .13 lately and I'm pretty sure that everything worked fine before. Also updated DGIndexNV from 1024 to 1026 (see #3).

1)
XVID presets editor loses custom matrix settings. I can chose a custom matrix, update the profile and enqueue that job (with the custom matrix used in the command line). However, if I load another source file and press the config button for that preset, custom matrix is gone and replaced by standard H.263 matrix.

2)
Problem with aspect ratio. Command lines have aspect ratio settings, I can see that in the log files for the xvid/x264 jobs. There are no custom -par settings in my profile and I don't use anamorphic encodes, so there are no Global x/y variables in my avs script.

example avs:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MeGUI x64\tools\avisynth_plugin\FluxSmooth_SSE41.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\MeGUI x64\tools\dgindexnv\DGDecodeNV.dll")
DGSource("E:\###.dgi",fieldop=0, resize_w=640, resize_h=272)
AssumeFPS(25)
#crop
#FluxsmoothST(7,7)
#resize
XVID preset settings:
http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/250/xvid.png
resulting XVID commandline:
[Information] Job commandline: "C:\Program Files\MeGUI x64\tools\xvid_encraw\xvid_encraw.exe" -i "E:\###.avs" -single -cq 2.5 -smoother 0 -max_key_interval 250 -quality 4 -vhqmode 2 -qmatrix "C:\Program Files\MeGUI x64\extra\eqm_v3ulr_rev3.xcm" -lumimasking -imin 1 -pmin 1 -bvhq -bquant_ratio 162 -bquant_offset 0 -bmin 1 -par 272:351 -threads 2 -avi "E:\###.avi" -vbvmax 4854000 -vbvsize 3145728 -vbvpeak 2359296

Same with x264 settings:
http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/7379/x264.png
resulting x264 commandline:
[Information] Job commandline: "C:\Program Files\MeGUI x64\tools\x264\x264_64.exe" --level 4.1 --tune film --crf 18.0 --bframes 5 --ref 10 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --partitions all --trellis 2 --no-fast-pskip --sar 351:351 --output "E:\###.mp4" "E:\###.avs"

Also can't find anything about par/sar in the xml profile files.

Where do the -par / --sar x:y parameters come from :confused:

3) Problem with AVS script creator. Importing .dgi files (source for dgi is mkv with AVC), the aspect ratio setting is wrong. On the older versions, I think it was 3.5.10 and before,DAR always was x/y as it should since PAR of the source material is 1:1. Now it's set to either 16:9 PAL or 16:9 NTSC. This ofcourse confuses the auto resize function.

I remember discussing DAR information for dgi files in the DGindexNV thread, but this was about DVDs as source file. Back then Meguis script generator did not use the correct DAR (16:9 PAL or 4:3 PAL) for those dgi files but DAR of 1,25 (720/576). Maybe Donald changed something which now confuses MeGUI to use 16:9 PAL even for source files with 1:1 PAR (like the AVC file mentioned before).

See this picture. The source is a dgi file of a Matroska file with AVC video. It's an encode I made earlier this year. The source resolution is 1920x816. Megui wants to resize it to 1488x816 because of wrong DAR:
http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/5662/avscreator.th.png (http://img3.imageshack.us/i/avscreator.png/)

EDIT:

Okay, just found out, it seems to be the preview window causing all that trouble. When I load an avs file as source, the DAR is set to 16:9 PAL in the preview window. I have to set it manually back to x/y and the -par is corrected to 1:1.

NEVER had to this before, so I never cared about the DAR settings in the preview window when loading a source file. :o

Is this intended to work that way and now I have to set the correct PAR myself for any file I load as source?

So ask in the eac3to thread (by linking your previous post - read, do not crosspost as per forum rules).

edit: however, you can use MKVExtract to extract tracks from a .mkv file. it is located in the tools\mkvmerge folder Similar response in eac3to thread to your response shrktooth.

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1444213#post1444213

eac3to is unable to extract properly vobsub from mkv
(that why in HDC now i use mkvextract...)

BHH

I can also use the fileindexer tool but the only issue is that I would loose the chapters. Could file indexer have an option to enablle subs and chapters maybe? Maybe an option to remux in mkv to enable extraction in Megui. Request here https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=156112&atid=798479

@LeXXuz: I can confirm at least problem #3. No time yet to dig deeper into it. Will do it tomorrow.

Thanks Zathor. Take your time. :)

#2 is directly related to that. If I set DAR in the preview window manually I can avoid this problem.

Never realized that these parameters were added to the commandline for non anamorphic encodes. Has this recently been added to compensate for small errors of the mod16 resize? Or was I just blind all the time? :o

Some other thing: is it possible that Megui saves any changes made to its profiles immediately and not when exiting the program?

If you edit profiles and Megui crashes for any reason during your work, you lose all changes made since the last startup.

Hi guys.

Firstly, I want to say that I am very happy that Bitrate Calculator tool is now more usefull from the past - Now it's enough to enter the desired custom filesizes and it remember the values entered:)

Btw, I don't know when it started exactly, but after last changes, meGUI don't save the quantitization type matrices entered on the XviD and x264 profiles (like eqm_v3hr.xcm & prestige.cfg).

Is it bug or is it planned?

Thanx in advance....

Same here. See #1 of my post above. And I guess this is a bug in the profile editor.

e.g. in VideoPlayer or AVS Script Creator
- (zathor) fixed saving of custom quantizer matrices in x264/xvid profiles. Bug #3070834

@LeXXuz/doc_dvxm: Thanks for your reports. Please report back if the problems are solved.

Is it possible that Megui saves any changes made to its profiles immediately and not when exiting the program?
If you edit profiles and Megui crashes for any reason during your work, you lose all changes made since the last startup.

That is also true for the log files and parts of the jobs. I agree that this is annoying and should be changed. Nevertheless that’s the way it is designed now and it would require some more work to change it. In my opinion this time is better spend in other parts of MeGUI.
I'm unsure if there is already a feature request for these things. If not please create a feature request.

LeXXuz

20th September 2010, 13:30

Wow that was fast. Thanks Zahtor for that quick fix. :)

I'll give it a try asap and report back.

As for saving the profiles I had a feeling that this will be quite some work to change this. It is quite annoying, but I agree that there are more important things to do. Maybe there is time for this in the future.

EDIT:
Excellent. Custom matrices stay in the profiles and the AR problems are gone, too. Thank you! :)

Done (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3073085&group_id=156112&atid=798479).

If anyone has any time for anything aside from bug squashing and can look into this, I'm sure the community would be happy. If you need a MCTD script please just use:

MCTemporalDenoise (settings = "medium")

If the devs get more anxious we can grow from there.

Thanks for all the hard work on MeGUI. The work of (all) the developers is greatly appreciated by the community. You have made one of the best (no rule 13 strike please!) GUI's to date.

And again, please set up a donation function on SF. Over the years there have been many times when I have had exra money and would have loved to give back.

It would seems that the audio was only down-mixed to 5 channel.

The downmix function isn't activated when audio have less than 6 channels:
6<=Audiochannels(last)?x_stereo...:last

Then, or MediaInfo report is wrong or AviSource only output 5 channels.

If the problem is only with this avi file try extract the ac3 file ( AVIMuxGUI, VirtualDubMod, ...) and use the ac3 like audio input file for MeGUI (now the decoder must be NicAC3Source).

If you get 5 channels another time (then MediaInfo report is wrong) use like audio input file for MeGUI an .avs like this (replace path's and name):
LoadPlugin("c:\megui_path...\tools\avisynth_plugin\NicAudio.dll")
NicAc3Source("C:\path\name.ac3", 2)
Normalize()

I would like to know if it's possible to extract the audio stream with MeGUI.
Also, is it feasible to make the extraction of audio stream part of the standard steps to go through when one open a file in MeGUI?
Currently, when you open a media file with MeGUI it will go through these events.
1. Indexing
2. AVS Script Creating
3. MeGUI place AVS Script into input
4. User selects audio input (in most case, user will select video file)
5. User uses Auto Encode

Will it be feasible to change it to this.

1. Indexing
2. AVS Script Creating
3. MeGUI place AVS Script into input

5. If user selects a video file as a audio input, MeGUI will extract the audio stream and place the extracted audio file into the audio input.
6. User uses Auto Encode
7. MeGUI completes encode
8. MeGUI permanently deletes AVS and extracted audio file from system.

Or follow what RipBot264 does.

1. Indexing and extraction of all streams from the source

I can't UNcheck it (as in, enable the --no-cabac option).

The checkbox is not grayed or anything, just when I click it, the check doesn't disappear.

When I muxed my finished .mp4 with .ac3 audio, the mp4 muxer doubled the amount of video in the final output. Essentially, it was the same episode but 2 times in the same container. The original .mp4 file and .ac3 file are fine and correct on their own, but when joined it created this problem.

24th September 2010, 01:27

@Sharktooth -- with the Yamb (2.1.0.0 beta 2 release) with the latest mp4box (distributed with MeGUI update) does not "double" the video time when avc + m4a (aac) + ac3 muxed. MeGui muxes the MP4 just fine with m4a (aac), but with ac3, the video portion is "doubled."

@Kurtnoise -- I have yet to try out you builds of MP4box from your website.

EDIT -- When muxed in MeGui with Kurtnoise's MP4Box build (32-bit), no "doubling" of the video. :) Hope this helps.

Nightshiver

Just tried that as well and it still doesn't work. I even uninstalled MeGUI and re-installed.

Muxer >> Mp4 Muxer >> Video Source is test1.mp4 >> audio source is mono.ac3 >> queue >> Start >> messed up end result.

Hey Sharktooth, I gone through some MeGUI youtube tutorials and realized I didn't get the desired result cause I ain't doing it right.

I changed the AVS Script from using AVISource to DirectShowSource and set the audio to true.

I have a little bit experience with automation ;) , on a German system the user likely wants the German track, if there are multiple audio streams in a container without language info, you can use the original stream order.

I've been using MeGUI to convert a few MKV files lately, usually containing x264 and AC3. If I try to convert one which was muxed using MKVToolnix, DGIndex usually locks up and FFMSIndex either does the same stops with an error. Most non-MKVToolnix muxed MKVs are fine. Anyone else come across this themselves?

Edit. When I say "convert" I meant re-encode. Usually to fix cropping issues or to make a standard definition copy.

How the stream order can give you the stream # that the user wants to extract ?

Most important tracks are likely on top so you would just use the first one but it's a rare scenario since for DVD and Blu-ray there is language info, MKV usually too and DVB has usually just one track.

Kurtnoise

27th September 2010, 12:34

What's happen in your scenario when a mkv has 3 german audio tracks (say, 5.1/2.0/Director's comments) and the user wants only the last one ?

stax76

27th September 2010, 13:40

Maybe not the most natural scenario. ;)

I've not yet found a way to read the users mind nor did I add any option to handle such unusual task so the user has to perform this manually.

Kurtnoise

27th September 2010, 14:53

Create a popup window when you detect more than one audio tracks in your input (can be done easily w/ MediaInfo).

Put this as textbox : "Your <inputfilename> contains more than one audio streams. Which one would like to encode ?"

Add a combox for all audio tracks with [#xx - Language - Audio Format - Channels Nb ] as template.

where #xx is the stream number. This implies to use FFMS iirc...And almost users will be happy.

I noticed this problem only with video with resolution 848x480, 480x270 video such as multiplexed correctly (It certainly does not mean that the problem only with 848x480 video, I just noticed it with the source).
By the way, the problem with multiplexed appeared after updating mp4box before that my version.

LeXXuz,
Had a similar problem but with the installation of an update for MeGUI, it seems to disappear.
May be the case in AviSynth? The script opens in VeeDub?

My bad. Should have checked that as well. Vdub crashes, too.

So it's either DGindexNV or Avisynth x64. :o

MeGUI instantly errors when attempting to encode a YV12 video that has mod2 width. It can view it fine.
Encoding returns:
"--[Error] An error occurred: avis [error]: unsupported input format (DIB )"

Reproduce script:
BlankClip(300, 550, 500, "RGB24", color=$FF5500).ConvertToYV12()
#300 frames, 550x500 resolution
x264.exe can encode this fine and it plays with no errors.

that's not a megui error but an avisynth error. play your AVS in a directshow media player and look at what it displays.Wrote a script for a video and it crashes all my players, actually...
Yeah, with more testing I've managed to get it to throw a [YV12 must be width mod4] error on a video, when it doesn't other times.

Then I change my bugreport: "avis [error]: unsupported input format (DIB )" should note (or MeGUI should note) that the issue may be caused by width mod 2 input, instead of throwing the odd DIB error. Since it doesn't throw an error until encoding (and works fine until then), it isn't very obvious what the problem is.

I've been using MeGUI to convert a few MKV files lately, usually containing x264 and AC3. If I try to convert one which was muxed using MKVToolnix, DGIndex usually locks up and FFMSIndex either does the same stops with an error. Most non-MKVToolnix muxed MKVs are fine. Anyone else come across this themselves?

If anyone's interested the problem does seem to be the MKV header compression. If I re-mux the MKV file with header compression disabled the freshly created MKV plays nicely with MeGUI.

Sharktooth

11th October 2010, 19:56

megui disables header compression by default and some tools included in megui dev version autoupdate server (like ffms and eac3to) now support header compression.

Not sure if its a bug, or if I have a setting wrong but...

Opening a file using the indexer, Megui loads the files as inputs for video and audio as it should. I select mp4 as the video output and ac3 as the audio. Then click autoencode, answer the questions in the pop up box on output file name and mp4 type. Megui adds the jobs to the Q.

The video job added creates a raw .264 file rather than an mp4 as requested. Using the input screen and creating the job parts manually works correctly so its something in the autoencode. Final result is mp4 either way but creating the raw 264 file sometimes results in out of sync audio. Using the mp4 output for the video seems to not do that.

Zathor

18th October 2010, 22:30

It has been this change:
0.3.5.17
- (zathor) [AutoEncode] added option to always mux the video encoding (enabled by default). Feature request #3082125

Main reason for this feature request has been the non (slow) seekable mkv output of x264. If this causes problems with mp4, well, we could change it so that only MKV is affected. Any opinions?

Rat Killer

19th October 2010, 02:41

Guess I misunderstand the change. I need the final output file muxed into an mp4 but the intermediate video file that x264 puts out should be stored as an mp4 as well if told to do so, not a .264 raw video stream file.

If the .264 raw files work better when muxing to mkv, I understand the need and even a default behaviour as far more folks use this software to create mkvs than mp4, but muxing a .264 and a .ac3 into a mp4 often results in out of sync audio.

Why must autoencoder ignor the setting to save the intermediate file as an mp4 if told to do so? Whould it not be more appropriate to default to .264 for mkv files but allow the setting to be changed and followed. As it is now, there is a setting that does not work and needs to unless I still misunderstand the way its to be used. But again, doing the 3 steps manually yields perfect results, autoencode does not as it ignores the setting.

Your change notes indicate that the new setting is an option, is there a way to set it to follow the encoder setting rather than ignore them as is done now? I need autoencoder to mux, just need it to also store the intermediate file as an mp4 rather than a raw .264 file when told to do so.

Thanks.

Why must autoencoder ignor the setting to save the intermediate file as an mp4 if told to do so?
There is not and has not been a setting in the autoencoder to specify the intermediate format of the video encoding. What you specify there is the output container format and this will be followed.

Your change notes indicate that the new setting is an option, is there a way to set it to follow the encoder setting rather than ignore them as is done now? As stated above the encoder setting is not ignored - it is simply not the encoder setting, it is the final output container you specify there. The mux path can be reverted in the megui settings, extra config, always mux video encoding.

...but muxing a .264 and a .ac3 into a mp4 often results in out of sync audio. So muxing a .264 with an audio file results in out of sync audio. But if you specify an audio file to be processed together in the autoencoder that is exactly the way it goes for years. What has changed is only the mux path if only the video file is processed without any additional streams. Therefore all video+audio mp4 files created by autoencoder should have this out of sync problem. I do not get the point, sorry. Can you please explain in which way you create the final mp4 files in megui.

Whould it not be more appropriate to default to .264 for mkv files but allow the setting to be changed and followed. As the target of the feature request has been only mkv I will change it the way that the setting will only take affect for mkv container and enable it by default for this container.

First, let me say I really appreciate your help here.

The setting I am referring to is not the one on the autoencoder popup page but the one on the input tab, video encoding section, file format. This sets the format of the video file to mp4, mkv or raw. Then there is a setting in the autoencoder popup that allows selection of the final container format.

If I do not use autoencoder, I set video encoding file format to mp4, audio extension to ac3. Then manually mux the two into a final mp4. This always results in files with good sync.

When autoencoder does the job with the same settings, the intermediate file is .264 rather than mp4. The results are SOMETIMES out of sync. It depends on the quality of the information in the original files, never have been able to determine where the error in sync is, but avoiding a .264 intermediate file avoids the problem.

The setting under options, settings, extra config tab, configure Autoencoder defaults does allow for selecting an mp4 file, this presets the final container format for the autoencoder popup window. I am still a bit unsure what the check box that is labeled Always mux video encoding is for, I had thought it meant to automaticlly mux the video and audio intermediate files.

While you are working on the autoconfig settings dialog, it would be great if for mp4 container type, you could also store a default device type.

Thanks again so much for your help. I am learning. Really.:thanks:

Thats of course true, but this setting will not be taken into account in the autoencoder. In the autoencoder the intermediate video file format will be set automatically depending on the desired final output container format, if there are any streams to mux and so on.

When autoencoder does the job with the same settings, the intermediate file is .264 rather than mp4. The results are SOMETIMES out of sync. It depends on the quality of the information in the original files, never have been able to determine where the error in sync is, but avoiding a .264 intermediate file avoids the problem.
While testing I found an inconsistency even before my changes. If selecting the input files (video + audio) in the input tab, select autoencode and queue them the intermediate video format is .264. If I select something in the "add additional content" window in the autoencoder the intermediate format is mp4/mkv (depending on the final output container). If I use both input methods for audio files it is .264. I have to dig a little bit deeper but I do not like to have it using other ways for muxing.

I am still a bit unsure what the check box that is labeled Always mux video encoding is for, I had thought it meant to automaticlly mux the video and audio intermediate files.
Have to rephrase it. The meaning is that if only a video file is to processed (no other streams) that the video encoder is not encoding directly in the target container format (if possible, e.g. avi, mkv, mp4) but instead is using the raw format and have it mux afterwards. Any idea to put this in the small line? (ok, have to use a tooltip I think).

While you are working on the autoconfig settings dialog, it would be great if for mp4 container type, you could also store a default device type. I will have a look at it.

Thanks a bunch for your explainations. Helped me to understand much better. Let me (us) know what you decide to do with the autoencoder intermediate files types once you look into it. From your explaination, there is more going on.

Thinking about it a bit more, it does make sense that the autoencoder would ignore the file type in the video encode section as not all combinations are possible or useful. Autoencode needs to select the correct intermediate file type best suited to the final container as you said. Looking forward to your updates as usual. Thanks again.

Thanks for the update, including the new mp4 default setting. As autoencode is still encoding video to a .264 file rather than an mp4 file prior to muxing, I'll stick with the manual method of quing the 3 steps rather than using the autoencode for mp4 until you have a chance to look at it after then next stable release. Hope to have this working one day.

I've been getting this error since the last updates when I try to feed MeGui an .avs script It doesn't matter whats in the .avs script as I let MeGui create It's own and it still is messed up and never encodes the video.

MeGui 0.3.5.22 Ran update.
Error code is:
Process exits with error code: -1073741819
Updated ffdshow to newest beta 7
Updated x264_64bit
Avisynth 2.5.8.5
My .avs plays in every media player just fine and MeGui plays It fine as well, It just won't encode.

I'm obviously trying to encode an x264 to .mkv any help on this? I read somewhere other people had the same issue's earlier on and It had something to do with the subs but I have no subs in this project.

Love this though It's only worked for me about twice I know once I get It working with me I will be very happy, thanks for making MeGui.

0.3.5.22 now and It's just great cause can't even use It now after that patent law message I don't want to touch MeGui... Where do I go to check these laws and all that junk... more confused then before...

The patent laws in question affect the production version just as much as they do the development one. The Dev version is just explicit about it.

Helllo,

Is there an option to enqueue a mux of two enqueued encodes? It's like:

1.Enqueue a XviD encoding of the video
2.Enqueue a AAC encoding for audio
3. Enqueue a mux of XviD + AAC output.

It's possible? I only know how to do 1. and 2.

Thanks for the help!

Sharktooth

25th October 2010, 14:09

@Tuik: not "manually" possible. i mean, you cant enqueue a mux if you didnt encode the files. however, AUTO-ENCODE does that since it prepares ALL jobs.
so, once you set up your video and audio inputs and desired encoding profiles, just click Auto-encode, select the filesize/bitrate/whatever, select the container, etc... end enqueue the jobs.

Try using a different indexer. To index it with FFMS you have to mux your 264 file in a mkv container.

If ffms does not solve the problem rename "C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\x264\vfw4x264.exe" to another name and "C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\x264\x264_64.exe" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI\tools\x264\vfw4x264.exe".

None of that worked.

How can I completely uninstall this app? I am wondering if there is something corrupt somewhere preventing me to encoding, as I have also tried a different source file .vob and I am still getting this error message so It's not my files, something isn't right somewhere how do I find out where the problem is? Before this I have uninstalled 3 times and just recently added the development version after those three times before posting any complications here.
I can't use megui at all, so what needs to be done to make this functional on my end, any ideas?

Once loaded/enqueue after pressing start 5 seconds later I get the same error, with edited aviscript, with generic script, both using all x264's, Xvid, profiles, mkv's, avi's, mp4's.

win7 64bit 6gb's.

So I was trying to re-encode this youtube video with a resolution of 470 x 360.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJq4jWSQNd8

When "Suggest Resolution(mod16)" is checked, only the height is a mod16 resolution, the width isn't
When "Clever (TM) anamorphic encoding:" is checked and "Resize to mod16" is selected, it's the same thing, the width isn't a mod16 resolution.

Is it meant this way for the user to input their own mod16 width or is this something that was accidentally left out?

I followed the simple installation instructions in the first post of this thread.

I recently fixed an audio/video sync issue thanks to MKVMerge GUI which allowed me to stretch the audio track.

1/ the "MKV merge" MeGUI feature invokes MKVMerge but the stretch feature is not available in MeGUI interface so why not adding it ?

2/ why not also adding an "auto-stretch" feature (as discussed with yetanotherid on another thread) so MeGUI auto-calculates the stretch ratio so the audio track length matches the video track length (and solves some potential audio sync issue) ?

I recently decided to run the analysis before reencoding my big MKV files (the idea was to decrease the size of my MKVs by reencoding them).
I did the analysis on 3 files and each time the 'M-in-5 tri-decimate' requirement was detected by the analysis.
After hours of encoding, I got the all my MKV frame rate changed from 23.976 FPS to 19.181 FPS.
MeGUI HD stream extractor stopped and complained about the non-standard 19.181 FPS frame rate but MKVMerge GUI worked for muxing AC3 with x264.
The resulting video was so choppy that it was unwatchable.

I do not know if it can corrected but my advice would be to use the analysis with care if you do not want to lose hours of encoding.
As far as I am concerned, the best thing to do is watching the video myself (frame by frame) then manually deduce which filter is needed.

guista

8th November 2010, 17:31

If you forget changing the ouput video file name when performing some MKV to MKV reencoding : when the encoding will start (pass 2), the input source file will be overwritten by a zero length file.
You lose your original file (if unsaved) and this is unrecoverable because the data is overwritten.

This is due the fact MeGUI defaultly set an output file name identical to the input source file name.

My suggestion would be to auto-generate the output file name by concatenating the input file name to a prefix.

guista

8th November 2010, 17:37

Actually, when the main encoding task is started, you have to wait until it is finished before shutting down your computer (it can last hours : 3 to 20 hours for me).

I tried to enter hibernation but Windows complained telling there was not enough resources to perform the operation even when the encoding process was paused (this is very true for x264.exe which eat a lot of OS resources even when paused).

My idea is to use the Windows DbgHelp API and override a SEH (Structure Exception Handler) from which a full memory dump of the encoding process can be performed upon reception of a control-break signal sent by MeGUI.
The process can then be restarted from the saved memory dump at the next MeGUI start.

Any time the video exceeds 2GB, the error occurs. All the isotmp files reach either a size of 2,097,128 KB or 2,097,109 KB and then crash MP4box like clockwork.

The file in Input tab must be a standard DTS or AC3.

If you have the audio track inside a container (mkv, m2ts, ts) is always better use eac3to with the stream extractor tool.

Hi. Could you update oggenc2 in both x86 and x64 versions to this one (http://www.rarewares.org/ogg-oggenc.php)?

dtscript

18th November 2010, 22:22

I'm glad the "and close" check box was added to the muxer windows a couple versions back

However, when you uncheck it, queue a file to mux, and then start to select the next files to mux, the muxed output filename does not change

so for example I have 1.mp4 (vid), 1.m4a (audio), 2.mp4 (vid), 2.m4a (audio)
I use mp4 muxer
I select 1.mp4 for video and 1.m4a for audio
the muxed output will be something like 1-muxed.mp4
I uncheck "and close" then click queue, all is good
however, if I then select new video and audio inputs to be muxed, the output filename is still 1-muxed.mp4

I think the output filename needs to be updated based on the video input filename - this is how the indexer works

thanks for the great GUI and all the recent updates!

One question: "[x264] changed default value of --qpmin to 0 (requires x264 rev 1795+)"
However, update server remains x264 rev 1766. After update, --qpmin remains at "10".

Will it only default to "0" when using/reaches rev 1795+?

I had a suggestion for people like me who use megui a lot and hate having to redo the same process 100x times :).
I made a mock up so It would be easy to understand, here:
http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/5175/suggestion.th.jpg (http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/5175/suggestion.jpg)
If this was already mentioned excuse my post then but direct me to the installer.

Selection of multiple source files is indeed a needed feature, i encode a lot of series and it's a hassle to add each avs file separately.

I suggest you add it to the feature request tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=156112&atid=798479

The user profiles will not be updated. You have to reset the profile or change qpmin manually.

Thanks for latest build .28, which has x264 rev 1804.

What exactly does qpmin affect and what does changing from 10 to 0 accomplish?

Sharktooth

2nd December 2010, 04:20

it affects the ratecontrol decisions. basically it "unlocks" quants from 0 to 9 so the encoder can use them when ratecontrol "needs" them.
the immediate benefit is it will be much difficult to get undersized files. another benefit will be some frames with better quality when AQ is enabled AND quant 10 is not enough for some really flat areas (read as: less artifacts in flat areas and gradients).
btw the qpmin cap value (10) was arbitrary.

rapscallion

3rd December 2010, 16:50

Thanks for the explanation Sharktooth !

I changed the qpmin value, in the X264 Blu-Ray 2 pass preset, to "0" and
notice now that qpmin is no longer in the Megui config command line.

I assume this is normal?

Sharktooth

3rd December 2010, 18:54

yes coz 0 is the new default value.

@zathor, after updating to the new profiles, preset Blu-ray 1080p24 720p24 when loaded, Megui comes up with a message something like "convert to yv12 is missing from the script, do you want me to add it?"

I click yes, but don't see it anywhere in the command line(s)??

Zathor

6th December 2010, 23:23

The only change in the profiles has been to replace qpmin 10 with qpmin 0. The profiles are not related to your warning. The missing line will be addedto your avisynth script if needed.

rapscallion

6th December 2010, 23:36

Thanks...interesting that I never got that message before.
I should have realized that the "script" meant avisynth, NOT command line.
And, sure enough, it gets added with any profile that I load.

BTW, source was mpeg video, m2ts from Pearl Harbor. This was the actual message :
The colorspace of your clip is not in YV12...
Do you want me to add ConvertToYV12() to the end of your script ?

So, apparently it's particular/peculiar to this movie. And, it's great that Megui detects that !!

When I try to manually create chapter, the first chapter can be created successfully from the preview window using the "Set Chapter" button without errors.

However, starting from the second chapter, an error pop-up appears.

The chapter is successfully created though and I don't see anything wrong with the time code.

Is this possibly a bug?
Or am I doing it wrong?:o
http://lulzimg.com/i0/410b342a.png
http://lulzimg.com/i0/2c3ee88a.png

Edit: So I figured out the problem was that one of the chapters must be selected if not I will get that error pop-up if I do anything.
It will be nice if MeGUI automatically select the last chapter if the user did not select any chapter.

In the event that I select a chapter out of 10 chapters, for example Chapter 05 before I click the add button in the Chapter Creator window. A new Chapter 05 is created with the same time code.

In the event that I click the Set Chapter button in the preview window with Chapter 05 selected of the 10 chapters in the list, a new Chapter 11 is created with the new time code. However the originally selected Chapter 05 is now Chapter 11 with the new time code as well.

Also if if I click the Clear button in the Chapter Creator window, then click Add or Set Chapter button, all the old chapters comes back.

Zathor

12th December 2010, 12:16

Another problem beside the message box is that if you select a chapter in the list and click then on "set chapter" this item will be replaced and a new item will be added. As a result you have two chapter items at the same position. If it's a bug or not does not matter - it does not work as intended as least as I think it should work. To be honest there are parts of MeGUI which I have never used before. The chapter creator is such a part.
Therefore I will remove the overwriting of an existing chapter item and hide the message box.
EDIT: Changed my mind because there are no up/down buttons in the list. If an item is selected then this item will be replaced and no second one will be added.

Would it be possible to add a default FFMS2/FFVideoSource input option to the AVS script creator? Right now it's either DSS or DSS2, and since FFMS2 is included in the tools already, it would make sense to have that as a third input filter.

I would have to agree that it does make sense to add in FFVideoSource.

However, while I was messing around and it turns out that if you didn't index the file with FFMSIndex before and you have a script similar to this
LoadPlugin("C:\MeGUI_0.3.5_x86_WithoutInstaller_OfflinePackage\tools\ffms\ffms2.dll")
FFVideoSource("randomVideoFile.extension")
#deinterlace
#crop
#resize
#denoise

and you hit the preview or the save button, the process of indexing/creating of the .ffindex file is done in the background.

During this period of time, MeGUI isn't responsive.
Maybe it's just my Core2Duo laptop.:p

The current work flow is that one would have to use the File Indexer to index the file with FFMSIndex.
After the indexing is completed, MeGUI would then automatically open AVS Creator with the script using FFVideoSource.

No offense but I believe there is a need for the developers to come up with some sort of workaround or an alternative work flow if FFVideoSource were to be implemented in AVS Creator to address to the issue of MeGUI becoming non-responsive while indexing the file in the background.

Cheers!:)

But if I remove this file from directory (so there are only VOB files) everything works!
I've attached mentioned VTS_01_0.IFO file, but this problem occured also with other DVDs.

There seems to be some problem with both MKV Muxer and MP4 Muxer.

If I encode a 5m53s long video (23.976fps) with --pulldown 32 to a raw .264
and then mux the file with the M2TS Muxer everything is fine (5m53s, 29.970fps).

If I do the same but mux with MKV Muxer or MP4 Muxer the video ends up being 4m42s long (29.970fps).

For MKV Muxer and MP4 Muxer, set the fps to 23.976.
It should fix the problem, I can't tell you why there isn't a need in the M2TS Muxer though.

Tested with big bucks bunny as my source file and encoded it to xvid/mp3 and couldn't replicate your problem.
Try providing a sample of your source file and MeGUI's logs so that others can help you regarding this issue.

I can't see a particular problem. tried to replicate your problem couldn't

First update avisynth to latest version http://sourceforge.net/projects/avisynth2/files/AviSynth%202.5/AviSynth%202.5.8/

second your directory should contain vts_01_0 try loading that instead.

I created an image of the movie "The expendables" on my hdd with anydvdhd.
I extracted all the necessary streams into the hdd but when I tried to index the mkv file, I found out that there wasn't any option to index the file. So I couldn't proceed with the queue option.
Any suggestions?

your question is not clear. you said you have created an "image" of a movie with anydvdhd... then you want to "index the mkv".
i cant understand.

O.K. I'll be more specific:
I created an image of the movie "The expendables" with anydvdhd.
I mounted the image with virtual clone drive.
From the tools menu of the megui I selected the HD streams extractor option and I extracted the necessary streams into the hdd.
I extracted the video stream as an mkv file and from the tools menu again I selected the file indexer option.
In the input file I selected the mkv file I mentioned above, but to my surprise I can't select a file indexer, all the options (e.g. ffmsindex ) are grayed out.
I hope I was more helpful :)

The only included indexer which can index an mkv container with interlaced vc-1 is DGIndexNV and this one is only activated if you have a Nvidia card and a licence for it. So you have to use DiretShowSource (or DSS2) to open the file directly without indexing it.

I keep getting this kind of blocks in the video preview window http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/7571/87746699.jpg when trying to resize from 1080p to 720p , actually its happening even if I dont resize ...I updated everything in MeGui, installed the latest AViSynth 2.5.8 , added ConvertToYV12() to the avs script when resizing .... what do I need to do ?? The encodes are blocky too .

LE: I solved it. The problem was the original file I used. It was a split/cut with tsmuxer from a bigger m2ts file. And apparently avs didnt handle the split file well , although when playing mpc-hc didnt have a problem with it .

Hi Zathor,

I seem to have run into the same, or similar update problem some users encountered. I updated from 0.3.5.31 to 1886 without a hitch a couple of days ago. I checked again for updates today saw that a lot of components were listed as outdated despite their being up-to-date. I de-selected them, leaving only the truly updateable ones and went ahead with the update to 1888, trusting that the problem will be fixed after the restart of MeGUI. After restart though this welcomed me:

[Update] changed update detection. Some/all downloads may need to be reapplied once.
As the files should be in your update_cache folder no download will be necessary.

8th January 2011, 13:38

I have what I hope is a minor GUI programming anomolie that can be fixed. Only recently ran into this when recoding some video from an anamorphic PAL dvd.

Anyway, the task at had requires me to recode with square pixels (PAR = 1:1) in a full frame 720p so effectivly upsizing slightly from the 720x576 pixel anamorphic input.

Load the vob source in the indexer and it loads to the aviSynth script creator. If I check the resize box and attempt to enter 1280, MeGUI changes it back to 720. Will not let me enter 1280. I then check the Nvidia Resizer box on the filters tab and then edit the script manually to 1280x720 resize. It then processes correctly so the manual edit workaroud is functional but takes time for each file.

Can you fix the AviSynth script creator GUI I/O tab to allow the 1280 horizontal resize (and then suggest the corresponding 720 vertical if possible)?

Thanks as usual for all your hard work on MeGUI.

1905 [x264] fixed ref and bframes handling when using tunings (especially animation)
1904 [AVI Muxer] the script file will only be deleted if "delete intermediate files" is selected

@RatKiller: This is not a bug - it has been a design decision a long time ago because upsizing is usualy a waste of time/bitrate.

I really like this new SVN-number thing going on for the dev build!

Rat Killer

8th January 2011, 18:36

Mostly was interested in removing the anamorphic PAR without reducing resolution. Nearest supported res for the hardware chipset I was encoding for is 1280x720. Going down to 720x480 would be going to a lower res than the native file.

OK, thanks for the answer. I can still do what I need even if the GUI does not support it.

The stable will have the same "SVN-number thing" :) One of the ideas behind this is that any dev build can be declared as stable build and no rebuild is necessary.

1905 [x264] fixed ref and bframes handling when using tunings (especially animation)

Wow, I didn't know there was a problem with tunings. I've been using "film" tune for awhile and didn't see any problems with the results. (Blu-ray 1080p/24 preset-BD-25)

Also haven't read any neg comments in this thread about it.
What exactly was the problem and result with the way ref and bframes were being handled, if I may ask?

Zathor

When changing the tuning setting while the preset was not medium the command line was sometimes wrong. e.g. in this example: http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1468916&postcount=6007

I've been using preset "medium" so I guess it didn't affect me.

Not sure if this is a bug or just that my hardware is not up to the job.

My laptop supports a resolution of 1440 x 900.
In the event that I preview a AVS with a resolution that is close or bigger than the maximum resolution that my laptop supports( * x 800/ * x 1080), the controls of the preview window gets distorted.
The seek bar is gone and only the buttons are left align to the bottom left corner of the window.

I don't have access to a monitor that supports full HD resolution but I doubt that this problem will occur on a machine that supports the preview's resolution.

The only fix for this will be for me to manually resize the preview window to a smaller one by dragging the corner of the window.

Therefore I propose a feature that automatically resize the preview window to something smaller than the highest resolution while keeping the AR.
For example my machine supports only 1440 x 900, MeGUI will resize the preview window to 720p or less, if my machine support a resolution of less than 720p then the preview window will resize to 480p and so on.
I believe this is what StaxRip is using for their preview window as well.

Another option will be to somehow fix the missing controls when the preview content's resolution is higher than what the machine can support.

Cheerio~

One-Click encode crash MeGUI.
I had downloaded MeGUI sources and run it in debug mode. It seems that this error occured in JobUtil.cs:143.
When I choose AVI as my container method prov.GetMuxPath(container, splitSize.HasValue, allTypes.ToArray()); returns null. And this null caused application crash in line 143.
GetMuxPath returns null, probably because allTypes list contains ChapterType.OGG_TXT and AVIMuxGUIMuxerProvider doesn't support it.

Hello,

I have problems muxing raw AVC + AAC streams into .mp4 (mp4box). Audio is out-of-sync with variable framerate as Selur noted here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1471913#post1471913).

Don't know if it's a bug in mp4box, user mistake, or incorrect usage of mp4box muxer.

Made a mistake.
Anyway, if I named my .264 to 1.264 and feed it to the the One-Click, a fatal error window appears.

It would seem that the error occurs with all source with numerical filename.

Hi. I dusted off my old iPod (5.5G) and encoded some TV shows I got for Xmas (Lucky Louie and Max Headroom... some fun stuff!!) I encoded the Max Headroom stuff with the previous stable build of MeGUI (3.5.0) and videos looked, encoded and played perfectly with the x264 version included in that version of MeGUI. I recently applied the new update (svn1911) and encoded some episodes of Lucky Louie and so far all the stuffed encoded with the version of x264 included with this version of MeGUI has contained corrupted video frames. I singled out that it was indeed x264 by going back and renaming the old .backup files in the MeGUI tools\x264 folders and using the older version of x264 to encode the same stuff over again. The older version of x264 worked great. The corrupted video frames looks similar to what happens when you seek video in VLC and you don't land on an I-frame. The video looks all pixelated until the next keyframe. Please look into it.
Thanks.

I've been doing a significant amount of re-encoding BluRays to 720P for streaming to my DLNA compliant BD player over the past week. I immediately noticed that after the 1911 upgrade, ALL of my re-encodes display higher average Bit Rates [double in many cases] DESPITE the encoding settings being identical. This, of course has resulted in larger files and longer encoding times.

These are x264 encodes and the only difference I see in the MediaInfo output is the Writing Library - originally "core 98" and now "core 112". I encode video only.

Here are my current pre-sets...

program --tune film --crf 16 --qpmin 10 --level 4.1 --bframes 3 --ref 4 --slices 4 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --b-pyramid strict --keyint 24 --min-keyint 2 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --weightp 0 --colorprim "bt709" --transfer "bt709" --colormatrix "bt709" --output "output" "input"

Again, my average bitrate has risen from 4500 to 10000 despite identical crf settings. Ideas?

you're using CRF and complaining about the bitrate? rise it to get the expected results.
CRF behaviour may vary from (x264) builds to builds.

CRF behaviour may vary from (x264) builds to builds.

Including the latest build. As of r1867, x264 now takes frame-rate into account when calculating crf. Frame-rates higher than 25fps will now have slightly higher average quantization per frame than the immediate previous builds (and thus slightly smaller file sizes), while frame-rates below 25 fps will have the opposite behavior.

kieranrk

19th January 2011, 12:26

Could the Blu-ray presets have an input file straight to x264 with --force-cfr without the use of Avisynth? This is to take advantage of x264cli's 10-bit processing chain.

CRF behaviour may vary from (x264) builds to builds.

I'm not an expert by any means. I really don't understand what "core" represents [presumably the x264 build]. But I was happily doing 5-10 encodes a week and exhilarated with the results using crf as the "quality" parameter. I could count on the results being consistent from movie to movie and, most importantly, reproducible.

Suddenly I see a new writing library x264 core [changed from 98 to 112] and this changes the output bitrate [everything else equal] by a factor of 2 - yielding twice the filesize and twice the encoding time. Now my "library" of encodes is inconsistent.

Maybe I'm asking too much [considering the price of the software] - but I don't think that one should have to test each new release of MeGUI [or x264 build] to see whether the output bitrate is in line with previous releases WITH NO PARAMETER CHANGES. I don't think that one should have to vary crf or any other parameter to realize the same result. To me [as a developer], the purpose of parameters is to tweak or fine tune outputs while always maintaining consistency from build to build - not to correct for changes in the engine.

And wouldn't it have been prudent for the x264 developers to stipulate that core X produces a significantly different result than core Y?

Just my thoughts...

megui has nothing to do with your problem. the real problem is you cant count on CRF to be constant across x264 builds. also, if you're using CRF it means you dont care about the bitrate. if you do, then use a 2-pass bitrate mode or at least find the new CRF value that suits your needs. what you think is not relevant. Dark Shikari always said the CRF mean may change across builds so, either you bare with that or use a bitrate mode.

Zathor

And wouldn't it have been prudent for the x264 developers to stipulate that core X produces a significantly different result than core Y?

http://mirror01.x264.nl/x264/changelog.txt
WARNING: This change redefines x264's internal quality measurement.
x264 will now scale its quality based on the framerate of the video due to the aforementioned frame duration logic.
That is, --crf X will give lower quality per frame for a 60fps video than for a 30fps one.
This will make --crf closer to constant perceptual quality than previously.
The "center" for this change is 25fps: that is, videos lower than 25fps will go up in quality at the same CRF and videos above will go down.
This choice is completely arbitrary.

Maybe I'm asking too much [considering the price of the software] - but I don't think that one should have to test each new release of MeGUI [or x264 build] to see whether the output bitrate is in line with previous releases WITH NO PARAMETER CHANGES.
As you already noticed: nobody is paying for MeGUI and therefore nobody is being paid for quality assurance and as a result QA is not being done at all. Ok, the part that the developers are using themselves has of course some kind of QA and also no developer is implementing bugs willingly. The developers therefore rely on bug reports.

nurbs

19th January 2011, 17:58

The changelog doesn't list the core version unfortunately, but core 98 is somewhere around r1650, so there have been more than 200 new x264 versions in the meantime. Most of them don't influence the bitrate a CRF encode gives you a lot, if at all, but it adds up if you make a big jump like kws53 did.

I posted earlier this week regarding corrupted video frames on my iPod-sized mp4 encodes using the new x264 build (r1867) in the new MeGUI update (svn1911). Rather than going back and replacing the new x264 build with the old one I decided to investigate.
I downloaded various old revisions of x264 from the x264.nl mirrors and began doing some test encodes. After a few dozen encodes I pinpointed the last build that worked for me as r1790. Revision 1803 and above all produced corrupted video frames with my test clip. Looking through the x264 changelog, I noticed various optimization having to do with weighted P frames. So I tried turning off/on the various "--weightp" options with x264r1804. They had no effect.
The other notable change between r1790 and r1804 was setting qpmin default to "0." Sure enough that was the problem. Apparently the iPod 5.5G doesn't like qpmin values below six. Anything below --qpmin 6 would produce corrupt frames. My short clip includes a fade in and a fade out and the corruption would occur in the fade out portion of the video.
So my suggestion would be to enforce the old qpmin value of 10 ("--qpmin 10") for the iPod (5G, 5.5G) preset. No idea if this change in x264 affects the later model iPods (Classic/Touch.)

Hope I've been helpful. Thanks for reading.

1919 [VideoPlayer] some sizing adjustments
1918 [One-Click] added the FFMSIndexer so that e.g. most AVI and MKV files are now supported.
if the FFMSIndexer is used the audio track must be encoded and cannot be muxed only.
1917 [FFMSIndexer] audio avs files will only be created if the indexing was successful
1916 [FileIndexer] added demux option to the audio tracks when using FFMSIndex
these audio tracks will be added to the main input tab if "on completion load files" is selected. Feature request #3158957
1915 [VideoPlayer] changed zoom and size behavior
fixed starting preview size so that it will always match the screen resolution. Bug #3159086
changed seek bar and buttons behavior. Feature request #3003726
try to ensure playback speed during playback
1914 [One-Click] fixed handling of video input files with short file names (less than 6 characters including extension). Bug #3160645

So my suggestion would be to enforce the old qpmin value of 10 ("--qpmin 10") for the iPod (5G, 5.5G) preset.

1920 [Log] the content of an avs input file will be added to the log
1919 [VideoPlayer] some sizing adjustments
1918 [One-Click] added the FFMSIndexer so that e.g. most AVI and MKV files are now supported.
if the FFMSIndexer is used the audio track must be encoded and cannot be muxed only.
1917 [FFMSIndexer] audio avs files will only be created if the indexing was successful
1916 [FileIndexer] added demux option to the audio tracks when using FFMSIndex
these audio tracks will be added to the main input tab if "on completion load files" is selected. Feature request #3158957
1915 [VideoPlayer] changed zoom and size behavior
fixed starting preview size so that it will always match the screen resolution. Bug #3159086
changed seek bar and buttons behavior. Feature request #3003726
try to ensure playback speed during playback
1914 [One-Click] fixed handling of video input files with short file names (less than 6 characters including extension). Bug #3160645

Thanks, added in profile 5.8

Thank You - Awesome work :)

The problem is this line:
DirectShowSource("D:\sample.mkv", video=false)
Please describe the steps for creating your audio file. Prefered way should be to demux the audio with the HD Stream Extractor (or DGindexNV if available) or to access it with FFAudioSource indexing with FFMSIndex.

To create just an audio file i just drag the media to audio input tab, hit enqueue and press start in queue. This method was working about a month back. Tried force decoding via directshow, but didn't work.

Here is the method i use for encoding video

sample.mkv (http://www.mediafire.com/?eej8xau8ekd8y8h)

Create avs script
DirectShowSource("D:\sample.mkv", fps=29.038, audio=false, convertfps=true)
#deinterlace
#crop
#resize
#denoise

Add sample.mkv to audio input tab, hit autoencode select mkv container (no target size), hit queue. In queue click start. It will encode video & audio and mux the encoded files to the mkv container.

logfile-11-01-24_10-41-17.log (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?v454jrjpk40gq8m)

sample-muxed.mkv (http://www.mediafire.com/?7yexg7bskd91797)

The output mkv file has proper video but no sound.

Now if use HD Stream Extractor on sample.mkv
Again following above method , it adds ConvertToYV12() to the avs file

DirectShowSource("D:\T1_Video - .mkv", fps=29.038, audio=false, convertfps=true)
#deinterlace
#crop
#resize
#denoise

ConvertToYV12()

The resulting mkv has proper audio but static image.

logfile-11-01-24_11-24-06.log (http://www.mediafire.com/?b7dbny342bn4vw5)

If possible i would like to use the the first method(without demuxing) as it was faster.
This method was working awhile back :(

@Ice Dragon
Here's the output I got using your first method.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/n9rnabqn61ydbwb/sample-muxed_Lighto.mkv

Audio works fine.

Try using Win7DSTweaker to make sure you are decoding aac with ffdshow.

By the way, the second method doesn't work for me as well.
I wasn't even able to encode the audio.

By the way, the second method doesn't work for me as well.
I wasn't even able to encode the audio.

The second method is working for me now after setting both aac & h264 decoding to ffdshow via Win7DSTweaker.

Mind posting the log here?
Maybe it's because I am on Win7 64bit.

I don't know if this has been asked before, but is there going to be support for blue ray 3ds?

Made a mistake, misread your second method as using File Indexer.

Do me a favor and try feed MeGUI with your .mkv file via Open > File Indexer.

Tell me your results.:)

Okay, I managed to get the audio encoded by modifying the AVS from

LoadPlugin("E:\Video Tools\MeGUI_1911_x86_WithoutInstaller\tools\ffms\ffms2.dll")
FFAudioSource("C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\sample.mkv", 1)

to

LoadPlugin("E:\Video Tools\MeGUI_1911_x86_WithoutInstaller\tools\ffms\ffms2.dll")
FFAudioSource("C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\sample.mkv")

MeGUI still contains error in the log though.

ZZZERO

Is there a way to set MEGUI to always look in the directory of the currently loaded VOBS when I select the audio track? It does that for the first movie I put in queue, but after that it always looks in the directory of the previously loaded movie vobs, not the current one. In other words, if I want to prepare movie1, movie2, and movie3 for ripping, movie1 is fine and it will look in movie1 directory, for movie2 it will look in movie1 directory for the audio track and I have to manually change it to movie2 directory to get the correct audio track. Similarly for movie3 it will look in movie2 directory for the audio track. Nothing worse than putting the wrong movie's audio track on a movie because you didn't manually fix the directory path every time.

The behavior of MeGUI's avisynth script creator preview window has changed recently. Instead of offering me the original 1:1 pixel mapped view it downsizes the video.
It was very annoying at first since I'm afraid to miss black borders when cropping due to the downsizing. Now it turned into a mess because MeGUI doesn't show me the black border on the right side of the video when I open a PAL DVD MPEG2 file indexed by DGIndex. It is impossible to find out how much pixels I need to crop away.
Is there a way to fix this or can someone recommend me an avisynth GUI that offers an unaltered 1:1 preview?

Is there a way to set MEGUI to always look in the directory of the currently loaded VOBS when I select the audio track?

IGNORE THIS POST !

@zathor
There is a problem now with the bitrate calculator tool oversizing .

I don't know when exactly it started because I apply every update.
However, this from the changelog when going to the svn builds : " improved M2TS bitrate calculation. Patch by Selur"

Example: previously, when calculating a *.mt2s video , BD-25 (2h 4m 29s) with DTS audio ( 3840 bitrate) results were a video bitrate @ 20,889. (when encoded and muxed to bd structure, Imageburn showed 96% size-perfect)

Now, using the same figures, the calculator indicates a too high bitrate @ 21,530. No longer fits on a bd-25.
What files do I need to revert back to the previous ver of the tool ? Thanks

Zathor

25th January 2011, 22:09

You have to go back to core build 1897 or earlier. Btw the new formula is for other kind of streams better than before. You can follow the discussion here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=158828

25th January 2011, 22:41

Thanks Zathor, however, I screwed up in my example.

After looking further, the problem is with the movie that I'm trying to re encode.
For some reason, this particular film (T3) has the same BR as the calculator, for a file size 2gb larger.
I'll just have to use a lower br for this film.

Just one of those quirks. In any event, false alarm, the calculator works just fine when I compared to other encodes I had on hand.

Zathor

26th January 2011, 00:03

In all of my own tests the result was better with the new calculation - but of course I have tested only a few combinations. But as you can see in the other thread there are still some things to be sorted out.

Well MeGUI is now my favourite encoder GUI, but one option would make my day....
Any chance of a future MeGUI version having an option to tell it to default to the appropriate non-ITU resize method rather than defaulting to the ITU resize method? I'm forever forgetting to change it.
Thanks.

Anyways, AVS Script for audio generated after indexing using FFMSIndexer doesn't auto load into the audio input tab any more, is it meant to work this way?
Also FFMSIndexer doesn't index .avi anymore.

Both things work for me.

I am having the auto load problem with the same sample I posted at SF.
http://www.mediafire.com/?eej8xau8ekd8y8h

The main problem is that the file name of the AVS generated is sample.mkv_track_0_japanese.avs and doesn't auto load I think.

The .avi problem only appears when indexing .avi with audio with 6 channels I believe.

I will post a log regarding the .avi issue soon.

Edit: It would seems that either my source or ffmsindex is the one with the problem.
Sorry for the false alarm, Zathor.

Edit 2: I think this is a insignificant GUI bug.
If I maximize MeGUI and exit it, then open it again, MeGUI starts up in restore down mode but in maximized screen size.

Edit 3: Ignore about the GUI part, I just remembered it was someone's feature request to remember the size when MeGUI exits.

P/S: Good job with the new video player!:thanks:

I've only watched the first 3 or 4 min and everything seems fine.

@Zathor in order to avoid DSS (and DSS2 too) passing HUGE timescale/timebase values to x264 encoder i suggest this improvement:

DirectShowSource("some.source", fps=23.976, audio=false, convertfps=true).AssumeFPS(24000,1001)

this will avoid timescale/timebase like this:

and make it like this:

The reason may be that the mirror was not up to date and therefore you have been prompted to update (which was a downgrade of course). The mirror syncs every few minutes which may lead to this problem. You have updated your build too fast :)

Not sure if this is a bug or MeGUI is meant to work this way.
If I set my output directory to "Desktop" in settings, File>open >index the file>auto encode.
Only the output video file and the video avs file is at "Desktop", the ffindex file and audio avs file remains at the source file folder.

Edit: Tried out with DGIndex and the .d2v files goes to "Desktop".

Edit 2: It would be nice to have a "x" button to clear the "Default Output Directory" so that the user can change the output directory back to the source directory.:)

Hi all,

With the latest updated version of MP4box (via the internal updater), the following weirdness ensues:

1.) if an .ac3 file is muxed in with a negative delay (e.g.- file DELAY -16ms.ac3 the video is doubled. Meaning, the video is layed down twice back to back. File size is correct. Timecode is showing double the length (e.g. - 4hrs 28min instead of 2hrs 14mins)

2.) if only a .aac file is muxed. no video doubling. Timecode length is good.

If I use Yamb (2.1.0.0 B2), the video doubling does not occur and the timecode is good.

If I use an older mp4box by kurtnoise (packaged back in Sept '10), I get no such doubling. The latest mp4box file size is 2.50MB whilest kurtnoise's is 265KB. :confused:

I even tried the latest version of mp4box listed on videohelp.com, it just gives an error message of error code 3..

I am very confused by this. Any possible insight would be hot!

TheFluff

9th February 2011, 15:52

With FFVideoSource() I get unexact fps values and always use a AssumeFps() after FFVideoSource().

FFVideoSource's ability to report a "correct" framerate depends a lot on what container format is used for input. The reported framerate is based on the average duration of all frames, and different containers store frame durations with different precisions, leading to some inaccuracies. It will try to "correct" the framerate to the nearest well-known fractional NTSC value (24000/1001, 30000/1001 etc) if it's close enough, though.

You are right, this is the problem.

Thanks, but when we know the exact fps is always most sure put the AssumeFps().

Strange, no one else has reported this. I ran a test and no problems for me.

X264 1080p 24 preset, automated 2 pass. 1st pass @ ~20fps and the 2nd @ ~4.5fps which is just about where it always is.

setting priority to normal wont speed up the encoding unless you have other running programs that eat CPU cycles. also, your settings are awkward, expecially when there are presets. plus, --no-dct-decimate is a placebo option...
try something like: --bitrate 1500 --preset slow --sar 12/11

@DVDBob,

Are you sure your PC isn't over heating?

download CoreTemp (http://www.alcpu.com/CoreTemp/) and watch your temps as the encoding starts. Make sure you leave priority set to low.

I see some changes with ffms.
Now the update is from ffms 2.14 to 2.15mt.

There still are a readme.txt (megui\tools\ffms) than say:

"Vanilla ffmpeg compiled ffms2 in this directory.
ffmpeg-mt flavored ffms2 in the ffmpeg-mt directory."

But now the 2.15mt replace the Vanilla 2.14 and the ffmpeg-mt directory isn't updated.

Is a problem or the desired behaviour?

I don't want use the mt version:
- may be unstable
- old ffmpeg Dec. 15th update
- I only have 2 cores and want the second one for other tasks.

Zathor, I really prefer the MT version. I have never had any problems with it and the speed difference is substantial.

If there are still users who want to use the single thread version I suggest adding a checkbox to the options screen where you can choose which version to use.

Another option would be to simply add both FFMS and FFMS-MT to the file indexing window, so you can choose using the radio buttons which one to use in each case.

I actually put in a feature request about this a couple of months ago but just closed it when I saw that FFMS-MT was now the default.

I noticed that megui puts the line, on xvid encoding, "-par 1:1"
This is bad because causes a custom AR which can be a pain for some players although it is the same of square pixels. Could be that line changed to "-par 1" which sets the default (square pixels)?
For now i add "-par 1" to the custom command line parameter but that should come by default, i guess.

When loading MKV file in File Indexer and keeping the option "Demux all track (btw: tracks, not track)", the result is an ffindex file which is correct, but NO audio file is demuxed, just an .avs file regarding audio.

Cosmetic: in MKV Muxer window, I think correct is "forced track".

Request: is possible to make some Blu-Ray > MKV "Remuxer"? Load Blu-Ray (like in HD Streams extractor), selecting the (HD and SD) audio tracks (also some encoding to be available for the HD audio track for the devices which can't play HD audio), subs, chapter and remux as MKV.

I've found a bug in the latest MeGUI, while using the FRAPS codec. This might be an issue with other codecs that use the YUV colorspace though.
When I open the AVI in MeGUI, it indexes and creates an .avs file. The standard .avs script that is created, the video looks way too dark. I'm guessing the FFVideoSource might be using 16-255 rather than 0-255 for color values?

Using the FFVideoSource() the video looks too dark: http://shadowdane.shackspace.com/megui_wrong.jpg
Switching to AVISource() the video looks correct: http://shadowdane.shackspace.com/megui_correct.jpg

This only started happening recently with the switch to the FFVideoSource function in the .avs scripts. I've been just manually editing this myself, but it is a little bit of a pain. This didn't start happen until recently.

You just need to change the "-par 1:1" to "-par 1". It's the same thing but "-par 1:1" produces a custom pixel shape that some standalone players don't handle although it's the same of the default. "-par 1" creates the file with the default "square pixels" which is 1:1 but is not tagged as custom.

Never used most of them before.
Maybe only used FAAC/WinAMP AAC before when I didn't know how to get Nero AAC working.:p

I feel that either FAAC/WinAMP AAC should be kept.

I am more on the FAAC side though, since it can encode audio output straight from a video without extracting the audio stream. :)

In 1981 version I get a mux error. It says :

Reason : Nullable object must have a value.

What do I have to do so that it works correctly ?

When I go to the MeGUI tools folder, and when I manually mux the video and audio file with the AVI-Mux GUI, everything is ok.

Yes, I'm getting the same thing on build 1981. I'm doing an Autoencode producing a final .AVI. It fails when it tries to do the MUX. I've gone back to 1974 and all is working again.

Thanks for the update on mp4box. Unfortunatly the new version exits with an error that it cannot find msvcr100.dll which was not included in the zip file. Read a bit online about it and it seems to be some sort of VisualC redistributable file.

Should not MeGUI install this also if its needed for the update? Or can you point me where to get the correct version to install?

We will find a solution. I did not know that some AAC formats can not be played with FFAudioSource. If this is the case we can bypass FFAUdioSource for these formats and try to decode it with DirectShowSource. This is not the prefered way but if this is the only way...

EDIT: Can you please upload your audio file?

How about changing the default audio decoder back to DirectShowSource for .aac and make the File Indexer support indexing .aac using FFMSIndexer?

If the user want to use FFAudioSource, he/she will have to index it using the File Indexer first which will produce the .ffindex file and the .avs script that will be fed to the audio input tab.

How does that sounds?

I am not an expert in this so tell me your views.:)

Zathor

4th March 2011, 18:17

The problem is that DirectShowSource does not work "out of the box" for aac files. But a way could be to check if it can be decoded by FFMS and if not to revert to directshowsource.

This plugins directory, I have to manually add it, right? I don't have it after I install AviSynth.

Sorry about posting the same thing is two threads but one says troubleshooting and the other says bug reports, so its hard to know where to post issues.

Anyway, just wanted to say I think the latest mediainfo update is bugged.

I just formated my computer and reinstalled everything and once I was done reinstalling and updating megui I got this error message everytime I tried to select an input file in File Indexer.

http://i54.tinypic.com/2jca5hx.jpg

Anyway, I reinstalled MeGUI again and went through the development server updates one by one and mediainfo is the one that caused the problem.

So anyone else get this problem after updating?

Boo

For me it happens when trying to index .vob files with audio.
.vob files without audio is indexing just fine.

i'm getting the same error as vorkey. i installed a new megui today. when i go to open up a vob file through the file indexer, i get that error. i have ms visual 2010 installed along with ffdshow tryouts, haali media splitter, divx, xvid. has anyone figured out what the issue is?

P.S. i uninstalled megui and reinstalled it without updating mediainfo from the 0.7.39 build and megui works fine. the 0.7.42 mediainfo build is whats causing the problem when trying to index vob files.

Hi,

yesterday I encoded some interlaced content with MeGui using x264.

I created a new profile with the preset "very slow" and activated the advanced options to enable "Encode Interlaced" in the Frame-Type-Tab.

However x264.exe encoded the file progressive (checked with Mediainfo).

Now I checked it again:

When setting "Interlaced Encoding" the string "--interlaced" is added to the commandline however according to this post (http://doom10.org/index.php?topic=1351.0) the --interlaced switch is depreciated and -tff/-bff should be used instead.

Is this a bug of Megui or did I miss something?

I just download MeGUI r1911(certainly a x86 build, right?) from sf.
I found something weird when I run my encode.
My OS is XP x64. I installed solely x86 version avisynth.
I see the x264 in this version is too old, so I replace it with r1913 from x264.nl. I only replace the x86 build(found there's a x264_64.exe in the directory but I didn't touch it). When I run the encode, I found that it invoke the x264_64 but not the x86 version as expected.
And when I realized there's not a normal situation, I deleted the x86_64 and try run my encode again, the job simply done in a second, in other words, failed immediately.
How did it do that? Is this a feature or bug? I would like to utilize x264_x86 since my whole toolchain are x86. Thanks.

@Valeron
You can use the 64bit x264 for your encoding，it is suppose to be 10% faster than the 32bit x264 on a 64bit machine even though your work flow uses 32bit filters/decoders.
Nonetheless, you can set MeGUI to not use 64bit by un-checking this.

How does MeGUI feed the x64 version while my avisynth is x86? Won't there be any bottleneck?

But the mkv output file seem fine, everything is ok, no problem. So anyone please tell me what happen? What i have to do?
Thank you so much.

I'm using megui 1989, and use mkv muxer to mux .h264 and raw .acc to MKV, but after process, status is error. But the mkv output file seem fine, everything is ok, no problem. P/S: mkvmerge (come with megui) 4.5 or 4.6 still got this problem :(
Thanks for the report. It will be changed in the next build.

With the new version, all my muxed files have a (1) at the end of the filename. i.e., "movie(1).avi"
The default output device type splits files at 2GB and therefore a (1) will be appended for the first file. You can revert to the old behavior (no split, less compatible with SAP) by switching to PC device type.

I don't use AVIs over 2GB, so I don't need split files. It is annoying to remove the (1) from each file. I do use stand-alone players, so I can't use the PC device type.

Would it be possible to not append the (1) to jobs under 2GB?

If you did not had problems with the created AVI files and your SAP with MeGUI < 1979 you can switch to PC without problems as this was the default before 1979.

Oh, ok. I misread that the first time. Hadn't had my coffee yet. Thanks.

EDIT: When I go to change the auto-encode defaults, under Device there are two PC options.

Hello.

Why writes MeGUI "Error: No data available" when I hover the mouse over the "Credits Quantizer" setting

Thanks, will be fixed. It is only a cosmetic issue.

Why writes MeGUI "Error: No data available" when I hover the mouse over the "Credits Quantizer" setting
Because in the help no data is available or the data is not correctly mapped. I will check this later.

Any comments on the incorrect/outdated interlaced encoding x264 command line issue?

Yes, it will be changed. Until it has been changed you can add the tff/bff values in the custom command line.

is it possible for the AviSynth creator to open FFMS indexed blurays at there native resolution and not maximised?

e.g.

When i open a 1920x1080 bluray in AviSynth creator on my monitor, it opens at 2560x1440 when it should open at 1920x1080.

currently
http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/479/openingwithavisynthcrea.th.jpg (http://img718.imageshack.us/i/openingwithavisynthcrea.jpg/)

should be like this

I have problems in encoding HD Streams that were recorded by me with my Technotrend HD TV-Card. I have no problems encoding SD stuff from it.
The Streams are MPEG-TS with AVC encoding, 1280x720 px, Bitrate 2700 Kbps, 50 fps, ColorSpace YuV.

I use the File Indexer that gives me a dga-file. After that I create an AVS file and try to start encoding.

After a short period of time (depending on the stream), the video encoding stops and the log says:

2000 [One-Click] if the source is a MKV file and target container is MKV the subtitles will be copied
[One-Click] if the source is a MKV file and target container is MKV the video track can be copied
added therefore a "Keep original track" checkbox for the video in the settings
1999 [profiles] during startup deprecated profiles will be removed
1998 [x264] invalid zones will be ignored. Bug #3233068
[Main Window] zones button is always enabled. Bug #3243634
1997 [AutoEncode] fixed duplicate device type entries
1996 [MKV Demuxer] added mkvextract as mkv demuxer
[Update] added mkvextract.exe and mkvinfo.exe to the file checks
[One-Click] if the source is a MKV file the chapters will be extracted and reapplied to the output
[One-Click] enhanced chapter and qpf file handling
[One-Click] if the source is a MKV file the audio files can be demuxed if using FFMS indexer
1995 [MKV Muxer] added --aac-is-sbr in any case for AAC files in order to avoid a warning message
1994 [Log] added timestamp to some log items
1993 [Winamp] removed winamp encoder
1992 [AudX] removed audx encoder
1991 [Snow] removed snow encoder
1990 [MainForm] cosmetic change

Because of the rather heavy changes in One-Click there may be bugs. Please test and report back.

The video player cannot be maximized and therfore the player should never be bigger than the original size. Sadly I cannot reproduce your problem. As my monitor is only a 1080p one I cannot test with 1080p input files but 720p ones are working without problems.

Would have been perfect for me if the x264 interlaced encoding config has been updated as well.

Beside bugfixing One-Click (found already one bug) the next things on my to do list are some changes to the x264 handling (including the interlaced thing, but this is a minor one).

With "interlace fix" you are refering to replacing --interlaced in x264 mode with --tff or --bff? This will be implemented soon. Bitrate calculator is the problem with M2TS and non AC3 audio tracks, correct?

The video player cannot be maximized and therfore the player should never be bigger than the original size. Sadly I cannot reproduce your problem. As my monitor is only a 1080p one I cannot test with 1080p input files but 720p ones are working without problems.Hi Zathor,

I have figured out how to reproduce this bug, you need to increase the windows font size to 125% or higher and then you should see it.

100%

Yes, to both. (calc oversizes by ~4%). I run 1888 svn separately just for the calculator. That ver is pretty spot on.

In the meantime, I have a tff video that I want to encode smaller, so do I just add --tff to the command line with no other value ?

And, adding nothing will encode as progressive and is there any advantage to doing that, quality wise ?

Feature request: Support for .wav in MKV Muxer and Adaptive Muxer. (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3253221&group_id=156112&atid=798479)
Would appreciate this feature very much as it makes my job of ripping my DVD to .mkv while copying the source audio which is .wav a lot easier compared to going to mkvmerge GUI to mux it manually. :)

Anyway I see that changes have been made for the x264 interlaced encoding command line on SF, thanks Zathor!:p

Can you please post a direct link to your mentioned build? I cannot find a recent one (seems to be from 2008/2009). Maybe you can try other filters from here as well: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mpc-hc/files/Standalone%20Filters%20-%20Win32/

Click "Download [ DirectVobSub 2.39 [2009-06-24] without installer - for Windows 2k/2k3/XP/Vista ]"
Couldn't find a direct link but this link should work.
The build is 2.39.5.2.
The VSFilter in the SF link is 1.5.*.* and has been reported by some of the users on SF that it doesn't work that well for them
Details and samples are in the SF bug tracker link in my previous post.

Yes, I am aware of that. But my link pointed also to other (older) builds of vsfilter which are newer than the version you provided. But we can try the old one.

I think I have made a mistake by comparing the version number, just realize the 1.5.*.* is meant for the MPC version number.

I shall try to do a test with the sample files provided on SF with the newer VSFilter provided in MPC and report back.

Edit: Did a test with the sample files provided on SF using the current VSFilter in MeGUI which uses the latest VSFilter from MPC.
Hardsubbing works fine for me.

I guess it is okay to leave the more recent build of VSFilter in MeGUI.

Hey! I just wanna ask one thing. I successfully converted MKV file into MP4, but when I added subtitles the result was that they were extra, extra small. You can barely see them. Is there any way to fix this?

If you are using .ass, you can modify the font size by opening the subtitle in notepad and edit it yourself.

Before posting some stupid feature requests I'd like to ask some questions to see which of them are reasonable and which not.

1) In the scrip creator: Why is resizing limited to 720 in the width? Shouldn't it allow for full HD resolution?

2) When processing anamorphic cinema-scope input (e.g. 720x576 video, with 70 pixel top and bottom border, identified as ITU 16:9 PAL): After auto-cropping and checking the anamorphic encoding box, the resulting video turned out to have 720x304 resolution.
Why isn't it possible to get the original height (minus cropping), thus keeping all the original lines but only stretching them in the width at playback (since that is what gets done anyway). I was kinda expecting a resulting video with 436 height and whatever width matching to it.
Would this be possible? Maybe with a simple check box? Or are there good reasons for not allowing this?

3) Would it be possible to add options for keeping the original video and audio data but still allowing for trimming? Or does that require external tools?

4) Currently the whole vob file gets analyzed and with this settings the encoding gets started. Would it be possible to first trim the video in the avs cutter and then analyze it? Thus getting the best default settings for the intended video part?
I'm asking this because recently I had two music videos, both anamorphic, interlaced (hard telecined) and 720x480 NTSC data at 29,79. The first resulted in a 29,79 fps and the other in a 23,79 fps video. The reason is probably that in both vob files were more than just those clips. In the one however all video was interlaced and at 29,79 and in the other the second part of that file was progressive, thus the analyzer said 'partly film', whereas the the interesting part of it would have been completely interlaced.

5) I just toyed with VirtualDubMod and found the filter preview window that is showing the original video as well quite nice. Would something similar be possible?

5b) Adding filters by clicking (and previewing the result) would also be nice. But I guess I'm dreaming here. ^_-

6) Also I still have trouble understanding the result of cropping on the resulting video size / aspect ratio:
I have a video (720x480 anamorphic) where I crop 4 pixels left and two right. I would have expected the resulting video to be just about 6-8 pixel smaller in width than the original, but the result turned out to be wider than that (about the size of the height of the window title bar more in width).
Still being a noob I was expecting that if I start playing the original file and the encoded file in 1:1 with MPC that if I move the windows to match the pixels should about exactly map 1:1 as well, thus keeping the aspect ratio perfectly fine without any distortion.
Unfortunately that isn't the case, ans so far I could not get the expected result even when setting the DAR in the script manually.
Is this a bug? Or am I mistaken and the expected result can not be achieved? If not, what is the best that can be achieved?
BTW: where can I read about the math involved that MeGUI/AviSynth needs to do to create the script. I like to understand what is going on here.

That's it. I'm sorry that it got this long.

1) Resizing is limited so you can't resize to a higher resolution than the source. Except in some cases it wouldn't make sense to do so. In short it's there to prevent inexperienced users from doing something stupid.

2) What it should do if you checked the anamorphic encoding box and didn't touch anything else is resize to 720*432 and set the appropriate flags. It's then the players responsibility to stretch the video correctly. I haven't used the feature in a while though. If you didn't check the box 720*304 would be the expected resolution. Are you sure you checked the box. Also how did you determine the resolution. Maybe your player scales the video down instead of up when it corrects the aspect ratio.

3) Not with Avisynth and generally you can't trim a file on an arbitrary location without reencoding at least parts of it. I think Avidemux supports that.

5a) I think AVSPMod supports this feature if you need it now. You can find it on the Avisynth forum. I haven't tried it, but maybe you can just edit the script to stack the two videos.

5b) You can comment out commands with a # and hit F5 to refresh the preview.

6) By default the anamorphic encoding is followed by a resize to mod16. This would also explain why the videos don't look the same. You can select other options in the dropdown.

Avisynth documentation can be found at avisynth.org, which currently doesn't work for me :p
If you want to use some of the more complicated stuff you find on the Avisynth forum here there is usually plenty of documentation in the corresponding thread. Usually there is also a manual included when you download new filters.

Ok, that's nice to know. So far I have only a DVD drive and was wondering what would happen with BluRay discs.

2) What it should do if you checked the anamorphic encoding box and didn't touch anything else is resize to 720*432 and set the appropriate flags. It's then the players responsibility to stretch the video correctly. I haven't used the feature in a while though. If you didn't check the box 720*304 would be the expected resolution. Are you sure you checked the box. Also how did you determine the resolution. Maybe your player scales the video down instead of up when it corrects the aspect ratio.

Hmm... MPC and VLC player both show it as 720x304. I only checked the anamorphic box and then hit auto-crop as well.

3) Not with Avisynth and generally you can't trim a file on an arbitrary location without reencoding at least parts of it. I think Avidemux supports that.

Is there loss implied? In that case I would encode in x264 right away with MeGUI. ^_-

5a) I think AVSPMod supports this feature if you need it now. You can find it on the Avisynth forum. I haven't tried it, but maybe you can just edit the script to stack the two videos.

Currently I'm still troubled with even more basic issues. It was only a very convenient way to actually see what a specific filter does. Once you know that there probably isn't much use to it anymore.

5b) You can comment out commands with a # and hit F5 to refresh the preview.

Nice to know. But I think there was one problem: AFAIR when you refresh the preview (not reload the video) the position in the playback window is also changed back to its initial position. It would be nice if the position would not change at all.
Another idea would be to add a horizontal slider that separates the window in a left and right part, one showing the original video and the other the resulting one. I saw something like that somewhere and it was the most convenient idea I've seen to handle those type of preview problems.

6) By default the anamorphic encoding is followed by a resize to mod16. This would also explain why the videos don't look the same. You can select other options in the dropdown.

Yes, it allows for mod 4 on the lower end.
(BTW: resize in the sense of cropping or scaling?)
But I was believing that providing DAR in the script could be used to correct the effect completely (by telling the player how it should be). Am I mistaken here?

Avisynth documentation can be found at avisynth.org, which currently doesn't work for me :p
If you want to use some of the more complicated stuff you find on the Avisynth forum here there is usually plenty of documentation in the corresponding thread. Usually there is also a manual included when you download new filters.
